Climate Action Plan

The development of Georgia Tech’s first Climate Action Plan (CAP) was launched in 2022 and includes stakeholder engagement across faculty, staff, and students.

Living Campus

With more than 400 acres, 15,000 trees, 230 buildings, and 30,000 visitors daily, Infrastructure & Sustainability welcomes creative partnerships with our campus colleagues.

Zero Waste

A goal of Sustainability Next is to reach zero-waste (90% diversion) by 2030 through strategies such as recycling, composting, green waste collection, reuse, sustainable procurement, and green labs.
