Sustainability Commitments
Western is committed to addressing sustainability challenges, both on campus and on a broader scale. We recognize that as a university we have an important role to play in building a sustainable future. Therefore, Western has made several regional, national and international sustainability commitments, including:
- Academic Health Institutions' Declaration on Planetary Health, Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry
- Investing to Address Climate Change: A Charter for Canadian Universities
- Agreement to support sustainable development through education and research
- Paris Pledge for Action
- COU Pledge - Ontario Universities Committed to a Greener World
- Talloires Declaration
- Forward Food Pledge
- Principles for Responsible Investing
- University Network for Investment Engagement
Together, these commitments reflect Western's ongoing dedication to sustainability through the teaching, research and service at our university. We are committed to working alongside other post-secondary institutions and global leaders to address some of the most challenging sustainability issues.
