The sustainability unit within the Office of Planning, Sustainability and Project Management sets forth the university’s sustainability goals outlined in the UIC Climate Commitments and executed via the Climate Action Implementation Plan under the guidance of the Chancellor’s Committee on Sustainability and Energy.

Welcome to the Fall Semester!

The Sustainability team is still operating both virtually and, sometimes, in-person in the office.
