Sustainability Summits

The first UC Berkeley Sustainability Summit

"To survey the landscape and get a vantage point on sustainability, and to chart the paths ahead and define where we want to go next."

CACS first met in October 2003, and within a year, hosted the first annual UC Berkeley Sustainability Summit where it secured funding to conduct a campus sustainability assessment and established the Chancellor's Green Campus Fund (CGCF), which awards annually Green Fund Grants. The following October, CACS kicked off the Berkeley Environmental Alumni Network (BEAN).

Since 2004, CACS has hosted a UC Berkeley Sustainability Summit every April. These events serve to gather the campus' sustainability community - to honor achievements with Sustainability Awards, to give general community members the chance to green their campus with Green Fund Grants, to highlight major initiatives, and above all to reconnect and share.
