U of T News: From climate action to social justice, U of T accelerates tri-campus sustainability efforts
“We can’t deal with these sustainability issues without also dealing with issues of social justice, equity and diversity.” says CECCS Co-Chair John Robinson. U of T is driving sustainability initiatives across three campuses, with equity and diversity made front and centre. These initiatives are outlined in the annual CECCS report and include: Procurement Services diversifying its supply chain to provide more opportunities to businesses owned by people from under-represented groups; the John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design’s employment and mentorship program for Indigenous youth; and the CECCS expanding its membership by appointing a seat for an Indigenous staff member.
