Welcome to a sustainable campus.
Several unique aspects of the Institute have fostered our commitment to sustainability. First, we are international. With a faculty and a student body that is truly global, we understand the scope and the urgency of the current environmental crisis. We recognize that every business, individual, and academic institution must do its part.
Second, we are the solution. Our world-class faculty, students, and alumni bring decades of experience in creating and affecting the policies that drive the environmental movement today. The International Environmental Policy program provides inspiration and momentum to the campus-wide sustainability movement.
Third, we are Monterey. Our location on the Monterey Peninsula between the stunning Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary and picturesque Big Sur has ingrained the stewardship of our environment into the culture of our campus.
For these reasons, MIIS has made sustainability a fundamental operating principle, and a goal toward which its community continually strives.
The first step in accomplishing this goal was the formation of the Sustainability Council in the Spring of 2008 as an interdisciplinary organization serving as the hub for all campus sustainability initiatives. Members from all departments, academic programs, and areas of study within the Institute are represented.
These pages contain everything you need to know about sustainability at the Institute. Our past accomplishments, current initiatives, and goals for the future are summarized on the What We Do page. Get Involved and start your journey on a path to making a difference in this area.
