For over a decade, NYU has raised the bar in making our campus and community more sustainable. But we often hear the question: how are we doing?
This month, NYU officially received a Gold rating through the Sustainability Tracking Assessment & Rating System (STARS), conducted by the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE). With more than 900 participants in 40 countries, AASHE’s STARS program is the most widely recognized framework in the world for publicly reporting comprehensive information related to a college or university’s sustainability performance. NYU’s STARS Gold score ranks us in the top 30% of certified institutions.
