With the current Sustainability Action Plan concluding in 2024-25, the University is set to begin the next phase of sustainability efforts with the development of a new plan that will guide us toward our 2050 sustainability objectives. This plan will address the needs of our tri-campus community and involve a range of partners and stakeholders.
We encourage our UW Tacoma community to get involved wherever and whenever you can.
Register here for the virtual kickoff event on December 3 from 2 - 4 p.m. and look out for future online and on-campus opportunities to learn about the process, share your vision, and influence the direction of UW’s commitment to sustainability.
