The University of California – Irvine, with an enrollment of over 35,000 students, has long dedicated itself to sustainability efforts throughout the daily operations and lives of its student body and staff. In 2013, the Office of the Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor created the Sustainability Initiative to provide a platform for interdisciplinary, community-engaged sustainability education and research. This initiative seeks to institutionalize sustainability across campus in fields as wide-ranging as clean energy, green building design, waste recycling, and sustainable water management.
