Administrative Actions
The
University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point has taken a number
of administrative steps toward the goal of a sustainable
future. In 1990, the University Leaders for a Sustainable
Future created the
Talloires Declaration, the first official statement of
its kind, in order to promote
university leadership in the environmental movement.
In June of 2007, UWSP signed
the
American College and University
President’s Climate Change Commitment (ACUPCC), which
aims to eliminate all campus-related global warming
emissions.
The signing of the ACUPCC spurred the creation of the
UWSP Sustainability Task Force, a group containing students,
faculty, and staff, which will serve to fulfill the
requirements of the ACUPCC.
