Consortium

VCU Sustainability strives to build a better, more sustainable future through education, innovation, collaboration, engagement and action. This commitment has resulted in recognition as leaders in higher education sustainability, operational improvements including LEED building certification, alternative campus transportation options, support for food insecurity on campus, and an Institute for Sustainable Energy & Environment, a collaborative research institute and leading source of expertise in areas of clean energy, climate change adaptation and environmental justice.VCU and VCU Health also work together on the One VCU Sustainability Plan, a plan designed to address sustainability holistically across both our university and health system. The goals of this plan are to improve ourselves by embedding sustainability into our culture, to improve community health through restoring the natural environment and minimizing our environmental impact, and to make contributions in solving the world’s sustainability challenges by inspiring research and the next generation of environmental ambassadors.

As a proud consortium member with Planet Forward, VCU seeks to enhance effective environmental and science communications by exposing students to opportunities for storytelling, media and educational events.
