Integrated Assessment Themes THEME GUIDING PRINCIPLE Climate Action We will pursue energy efficiency and fiscallyresponsible energy sourcing strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions toward long-term carbon neutrality. Waste Prevention We will pursue purchasing, reuse, recycling, and composting strategies toward long-term waste eradication. 2025 GOALS Reduce greenhouse gas emissions (scopes 1&2) by 25% below 2006 levels. Decrease carbon intensity of passenger trips on U-M transportation options by 30% below 2006 levels. Reduce waste tonnage diverted to disposal facilities by 40% below 2006 levels Purchase 20% of U-M food from sustainable sources. Healthy Environments We will pursue land water management, built environment, and product sourcing strategies toward improving the health of ecosystems and communities. Community Awareness We will pursue stakeholder engagement, education, and evaluation strategies toward a campus-wide ethic/culture of sustainability. Protect Huron River water quality by: minimizing runoff from impervious surfaces (outperform uncontrolled surfaces by 30%), & reducing the volume of land management chemicals used on campus by 40% The report recommends investments in multiple actions to educate our community, track behavior, and report progress over time.

Culture of Sustainability What is it? How do we measure it? How do we know if its changing? Knowledge, Awareness Behaviors, Actions Commitments Values, Dispositions general U-M specific CLIMATE ACTION reduce GHG Travel & Transportation Waste Reduction & Conservation Natural Environment Sustainable Food Climate Change emissions by 25%; decrease GHG/passenger trip for UM trans. options by 30% U-M Goals 2025 WASTE PREVENTION reduce waste tonnage to disposal facilities by 40% HEALTHY ENVIRONMENTS protect Huron River water quality by reducing volume of chemicals used in land management by 40%; purchase 20% of U-M food from sustainable sources.
