Brown University's Sustainable Future

After doing multiple studies and publishing blogs about Brown Universities efforts towards sustainability, I in this final blog post of the series would state that it is quite evident that the university is committed to achieve sustainability and supports environmental performance and strategic long term approaches for a better future. As we have seen in the last blogs, Brown university have future plans such as reducing their carbon emissions to net zero by 2040, reducing nitrogen and phosphorous contents, use water responsibly. Apart from these, there are several other goals towards which Brown is working such as safeguarding human health by elimination use of toxic chemicals and decrease noise and air pollution on campus.



To educate its students and communities about importance of achieving sustainability in the 21st century is also one of the most important part of Brown’s road to achieve sustainability. The university has various programs and volunteering opportunities for students who are focused to help and achieve the sustainable development goals. These programs act as a way to create awareness amongst the students and other staff member on campus, thus spreading the importance of a sustainable planet. The university has also participated in numerous collaborations which would help them to reduce on campus energy and also to research more for the further developments of its Storm Water Master Plan.

 

Looking at the future, Brown universities road to sustainability is full of challenges. However, with innovative research, collaboration with various sectors, long term strategies and collective effort from the students, faculty, staff and other member of the community, Brown University aims to overcome obstacles and lead as an example by making a positive impact and creating a greener and sustainable planet for everyone.
