Meetings
Staff and Faculty Sustainability Working Group: Send a committee representative to these quarterly meetings to share ideas and gain new knowledge.
Funding
Climate Justice & Sustainability Grant Program: Apply for a grant to launch new initiatives, purchase materials to help green your office, or explore new ideas.
Support
Staff from the Hub can provide guidance and consultation.
Department/
College Sustainability Committees
The Hub recently launched Northeastern’s Climate Justice Action Plan. One of the best ways for departments to support the implementation of the plan and help us reach higher sustainability standards is to create voluntary Sustainability Committees, and the Hub can help!
A departmental sustainability committee can be launched with just a few passionate staff members. The Hub established a Sustainable Department Checklist to help guide your efforts. The Checklist serves as a menu of options for ways to incorporate climate justice and sustainability into your unit and provides the information and resources to do it.
Faculty and Staff Sustainability Working Group
Join the Climate Justice & Sustainability Hub for a quarterly meeting series aimed to support faculty and staff working to advance sustainability in their departments and across the university. These meetings will provide information, resources, and connections to help you incorporate sustainability into your work.
Join us to learn more about the Hub and share your ideas with us. The Working Group meets quarterly in September, November, February, and May. Meetings are virtual and open to faculty and staff across the global network.
The next meeting will be :
Thursday, February 13th from 12:00 – 1:00 pm EST
Thursday, May 8th from 12:00 – 1:00 pm EST
