The Office of Sustainability has released two new documents that further define our campus sustainability goals and set a standard of transparency and accountability. The 2009 Campus Sustainability Plan defines a vision of long term sustainability and describes steps being taken to achieve the vision. The Plan will guide future work on campus and establish a structure to identify and achieve continuous improvement.

The 2009 Campus Sustainability Report provides a transparent accounting of Berkeley’s environmental impacts, focusing on key indicators during fiscal year 2008-2009. Current conditions, achievements in the past year, and plans for the coming year are presented.
