Defining Sustainability

In 2010, the Office of Sustainability Academic Advisory Committee defined sustainability as: “the process of living within the limits of available physical, natural and social resources in ways that allow the living systems in which humans are embedded to thrive in perpetuity.”
This definition was used for the university’s Sustainability Plan 2012–16 and 2016–20.

STARS Gold

The University of Alberta is a charter member of the Sustainability Tracking, Assessment and Rating System™. STARS is a voluntary self-reporting framework developed by the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education. Using STARS, the Sustainability Council continues to work with university partners to recognize, gauge and accelerate the university’s progress towards sustainability.
The university has received a Gold rating in 2014, 2017 and 2020.
