Environmental Justice
“Sustainability efforts at Columbia University cannot succeed without explicit attention to equity and justice. This plan situates our University within the Morningside Heights and Harlem communities and acknowledges our lasting obligation to be good neighbors. Reducing emissions across all sectors – transportation, procurement, energy, and buildings – will have broad positive impacts. More needs to be done to firmly embed the goals of environmental justice into everything the University does to promote sustainability for all.”
- Lisa Dale, Lecturer in the Undergraduate Program in Sustainable Development
