Get Involved in UMBC's Climate Goals!
Hello Retrievers!
October is Campus Sustainability Month and the UMBC Office of Sustainability has exciting news -- we are kicking off the process to update our university's Climate Action Plan (CAP)! The CAP isn’t just a document – it’s the blueprint that helps our campus reduce greenhouse gas emissions, prepare for climate change, and become a leader in sustainability. The CAP update is managed by dedicated working groups of students, faculty, and staff, with input from senior campus leaders, and we thank all these contributors for their support.
But we cannot update UMBC's CAP without your help! As a member of the UMBC community, your voice is crucial in helping us shape a sustainable future. Whether you love speaking up in person or prefer to share your thoughts anonymously, we’ve got you covered!
- Take our CAP Survey! Share your thoughts on the goals from our 2020 CAP and what you want to see moving forward. Your feedback is completely anonymous, and it’s your chance to be heard! Click here to access our feedback survey.
- Join the Sustainability Town Hall: Mark your calendars for October 21 from 2:30-4:00 in Lecture Hall 1! This is your opportunity to connect with peers and contribute directly to UMBC’s sustainability efforts.
- Attend our Sustainability Office Hours: Prefer a smaller setting? Stop by MP105 on October 14 and October 28 from 12:00-1:00 PM to chat with us, ask questions, and offer feedback.
- Schedule a 1-on-1: Email us at sustainability@umbc.edu to schedule a personal session.
This is your chance to make a real difference on campus and beyond. Help us create ambitious goals that push UMBC forward in addressing climate change. October is the perfect time to act – don’t miss out! Look for notifications and reminders on the Sustainability Matters myUMBC page and in our Sustainability Newsletter.
Your ideas matter, and together we can create a stronger, greener future for UMBC!

UMBC Office of Sustainability
