UNH 可持续性 Dashboard
Guided by UNH's 可持续性 Task Force, for over a decade we’ve been assessing our progress and conducting inventories in the performance categories below, celebrating achievements and identifying opportunities for growth. We report this information through the Association for the Advancement of 可持续性 in Higher Education’s 可持续性 Tracking, Assessment & 评级制度(星星) – a comprehensive rating system for colleges and universities that addresses the broad dimensions of sustainability, 跨越永利app新版本官网地址, 订婚, planning and administration, 和操作. UNH is one of a handful of higher education institutions in the nation to earn a 星星 白金评级!
This dashboard highlights our key achievements and performance in the campus operations categories. You’ll find our 星星 rating and more information about our practices in each category below. This provides an opportunity for our sustainable learning community (students, 教师, 工作人员, alumni and the broader community) to see and find their place in the collective effort to exceed our sustainability goals.
