Celebrate Sustainability Month
Posted by Tim on April 4, 2021 in Event
| Dear University Community, At UB, we have long been committed to environmental sustainability, and our goal is to achieve climate neutrality within the next decade. This past year has tested our ability to adapt to our circumstances and to listen to and connect with one another. We know that we are resilient and can work together to become agents of change in our world. This makes us even more optimistic in our fight against climate change to ensure a bright and healthy future. In an effort to recognize the significant sustainability-focused work that is taking place across our university, we are celebrating Sustainability Month a little differently this year. Like countries across the globe, our campus has embraced the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the framework they provide for advancing solutions to our global challenges. Throughout April, UB will highlight a different SDG each day with a collection of lectures, webinars, curricula, workshops and other resources related to each goal for our entire campus community. UB Sustainability’s social media channels will highlight new materials from across our university and demonstrate how you can make a difference at home and here at UB. The Sustainability Month website will provide links for events throughout April. The many events we are offering include: World’s Challenge Challenge, April 6Inclusive Excellence Summit, April 8UB Sustainability Career Panel, April 20-21Climate Action Plan Update, April 22 Visit the Sustainability Month website for more information, and follow us on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook to stay up to date with the SDGs and events throughout the month. Sincerely, A. Scott Weber Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs Laura E. Hubbard Vice President for Finance and Administration |
