Task Force Mission
The Sustainability Task Force was charged in its first year with conducting a comprehensive assessment of current practices; recommending a prioritized Green Action Plan to improve NYU's environmental footprint; engaging faculty, students and administrators in sustainability efforts; and developing a method to award funds for green projects.
As the Task Force entered its second year, this mission evolved; the group followed up on past recommendations, taking stock of progress to date through a comprehensive Environmental Assessment and developed new projects and recommendations for NYU's future.
In its third year, the group is tasked with developing recommendations for new policies and practices that improve NYU's environmental performance and foster a campus culture of sustainability.
