This Earth Day, the Johns Hopkins Office of Sustainability is announcing plans to develop a new Sustainability Plan and roadmap, the first update to the university's environmental planning policy since the President's Task Force on Climate Change Implementation Plan was adopted in 2009.
The new Sustainability Plan will provide ambitious recommendations for strategies, goals, and metrics that advance university practices spanning operations and procurement, and its values and academic mission.
According to Julian Goresko, sustainability director at Johns Hopkins, the development of a new plan will include broad feedback from the university community and embrace a holistic view of sustainability that aligns the commitment with other core institutional priorities.
