The overall campus effort, Sustainability 2.0, is
    positioning UC San Diego as a model of what is
    possible. Here we are integrating research and operations 
    to apply our research to the campus community
    to develop and evaluate more sustainable approaches to resource management, building design, and operating policies. 

Students at UC San Diego have the opportunity to participate directly in sustainability research, to learn the latest in sustainability science, and to live in an environment where we are reducing our ecological footprint and working to restore and protect the natural systems on which we depend.  

The Sustainability Solutions Institute is a central element in Sustainability 2.0, creating opportunities for faculty, researchers, students, and non-academic partners to work together on interdisciplinary, translational research and outreach programs.
