“By engaging in sustainability-focused research and education, as well as reducing the university’s own environmental impact, we can create a healthier environment now and for generations to come. We believe that Stanford’s spirit of innovation and optimism position us to develop sustainable solutions for our region, nation, and the world, with the Stanford campus itself as a test-bed to advance progress.”
