The UC Berkeley community took action in the early 2000's to bring sustainability and climate action to the campus and to the UC system. In the early years, efforts included forming the Chancellor's Advisory Committee on Sustainability (2003), creating a comprehensive campus sustainability assessment (2005), the launch of student The Green Initiative Fund (2007) and the establishement of the Office of Sustainability (2008). These foundational efforts have been key to the amazing projects, plans, engagement, and culture of sustainability we have today.
