As a private university in the public service, NYU has a responsibility to embed environmental sustainability as a core value of its academic mission and administrative operations.
Through investments in renewable energy and infrastructure, community-wide programming, academic research, and the fostering of a deep understanding of environmental values, NYU can act as a global leader in urban environmental scholarship and practice.
Sustainability means bringing together diverse segments of the NYU community - students, faculty, administrators, staff, parents, alumni, neighbors, and beyond - to solve environmental problems and improve everyone's quality of life.
