University of California San Diego

Sustainable Development 

The University of California system has been committed to responsible stewardship of its resources, education and innovation for the public good since its first campus opened in 1868. Today, its 10 campuses and five medical centers are nationally recognized living laboratories of sustainability working to ensure that students have a healthy environment in which to learn for generations to come.

At UC San Diego, sustainability is part of the institutional DNA imparted to us by Roger Revelle, one of the university’s founders and a pioneer of climate change research. Over the years, the university has built on that legacy to become one of the nation’s most sustainable universities. Achieving sustainability goals takes the collective effort of everyone at UC San Diego. Staff, students and faculty from across many areas are working collaboratively to develop solutions and elevate initiatives for a more sustainable campus.
