Committee, co-chaired by Susannah Scott, chair of the Academic Senate, and Ren\u00e9e Bahl, associate vice chancellor of Design, Facilities &amp; Safety Services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The committee hosted three town halls and two workshops to develop the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.energy.ucsb.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/docs\/20241023%20UCSB%20Clean%20Energy%20Master%20Plan_Final%20Report%20(1).pdf\">Clean Energy Master Plan<\/a>, which defines a strategy to reduce scope 1 greenhouse gas emissions by over 90% while accounting for environmental justice and equity. It also identifies a roadmap for additional living laboratory opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-style-read-more is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Read More about Sustainability at UC Santa Barbara<\/summary>\n<p>UC Santa Barbara also continued its work toward climate resilience with a dynamic team of Climate Action Fellows, Environmental Health &amp; Safety, Campus Planning and Sustainability. The campus developed and piloted a Climate Hazard Vulnerability Assessment for the UC system. UC Santa Barbara\u2019s Campus Emergency Manager and Climate Action Fellow also relaunched the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program after a hiatus during COVID-19 to equip students with essential emergency preparedness skills, promote helping the community during natural hazards, and increase climate resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UC Santa Barbara continues to increase LEED projects on campus. The UC Santa Barbara Associated Students Bike Shop received a LEED Platinum certification. The new Interactive Learning Pavilion, designed as an all-electric facility, received the U.S. Building of the Year award from World-Architects and is a recipient of the Green Schools Honor Award by the Central Coast Green Building Council.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UC Santa Barbara also renewed its Gold certification under the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education Sustainability Tracking, Assessment and Rating System and Platinum Level Bicycle Friendly University certification.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group location-info\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-regular is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sustainabilityreport.ucop.edu\/2020\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/11\/ucsantabarbara_logo.png\" alt=\"UC Santa Barbara Logo\" class=\"wp-image-849\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n<div  class=\"appear-on-scroll wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\" >\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link external wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/sustainability.ucsb.edu\/\">Sustainability at UC Santa Barbara<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div id=\"query-posts\" class=\"query-posts three-across posts\"><div class=\"excerpt post-1598 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-uncategorized location-taxonomy-location-70\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/sustainabilityreport.ucop.edu\/2024\/2024\/10\/08\/securing-the-future-of-californias-coasts\/\" class=\"thumbnail\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"460\" src=\"https:\/\/sustainabilityreport.ucop.edu\/2024\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2024\/10\/UCSB_Locations_SantaBarbara_Story_Coast-700x460.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post-large size-post-large wp-post-image\" alt=\"California Coasts.

UC Santa Barbara is subject to one waste hauler and a relatively new material recovery facility. Unfortunately, the new material recovery facility did not operate as anticipated and did not recover a high percentage of divertable material before it entered the landfill. The county is actively working on correcting this. Other factors, such as the recycling market and stagnation in some of the campus\u2019s diversion programs, led to the decrease in waste diversion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tooltip\" id=\"tooltip-id69e902bbd6fc8\"><\/div><form class=\"block-switcher\"><\/form><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group wider\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Single-Use Plastics Phase-Out<\/h2>\n\n\n<div  class=\"theme-block scrollable wp-block-group is-style-shadow has-shadow-bottom-right\" ><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-shadow-bottom-right has-light-gray-background-color has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:34%\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Complete Phase-out<\/strong>*<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Plastic bags<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33%\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Partial Phase-out<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Foodware in UC dining facilities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Foodware in third-party dining facilities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Beverage bottles in UC dining facilities<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Beverage bottles in vending machines<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33%\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Starting Soon<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>N\/A<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-small-font-size\">*Complete phase-out of single-use plastics may include exemptions where reasonable alternatives to plastic do not exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UC Santa Barbara Campus Dining is working to reduce existing stock of single-use plastics in retail locations, catering, concession and to-go dining facilities.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group wider infographic\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Awards<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns awards is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column content is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:50%\">\n<p>UC Santa Barbara won two building awards for the Interactive Learning Pavilion.
