This month, UNC Chapel Hill joined charter campuses across the country in submitting its first AASHE STARS report. As the first comprehensive, objective, and transparent assessment of campus-wide sustainability, STARS enables campuses to measure their current sustainability initiatives and to track progress over time.
The Sustainability Office is proud to announce that UNC Chapel Hill has earned a silver rating. This achievement recognizes the University’s progress, and opportunities for improvement, in all areas – education, research, operations, planning, administration, engagement, and innovation. The University’s complete AASHE STARS report is now publicly available online at https://stars.aashe.org/institutions
"We are proud to be a charter STARS participant and to attain a STARS Silver rating. Sustainability is a core value at Carolina and we are committed to leading the effort to achieve a more sustainable future," stated UNC Chancellor Holden Thorp in submitting the University’s STARS report.
The Sustainability Tracking, Assessment & Rating System (STARS) was developed by the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE) with broad participation from the higher education community. It incorporates environmental, economic, and social indicators to track relative progress in all areas of campus.
