The Sustainability Coordinators are a collaborative group of campus leaders representing Penn’s Schools and Centers that strive to implement significant operational and behavior changes to support the University’s Climate and Sustainability Action Plan 4.0 and drive a shift to carbon neutrality.

The Sustainability Coordinators act as a bridge to Penn’s senior leadership through the use of interdisciplinary, data-driven best practices and communicating accomplishments within their respective areas of campus.

Sustainability Coordinators attend monthly group meetings, lead their School’s participation in seasonal awareness campaigns, recruit members to the Penn Employee Alliance for Climate & the Environment (PEACE), and help to identify offices to participate in the Green Office program and labs to participate in the Green Labs program.

ESAC subcommittees, each led by two co-chairs, develop recommendations and implement solutions for short- and long-term actions which address Penn's Climate & Sustainability Action Plan 4.0.

ESAC has been developing and executing Penn’s climate and sustainability goals since the signing of the Presidents’ Climate Commitment in 2007.

ESAC subcommittees meet bimonthly to advance goals and tactics outlined in CSAP
4.0, with members then sharing information with their respective schools, centers, or
departments.
