Env. Caucus Action Teams

Committed to decreasing our climate impact, we think creatively about options for reducing our emissions. As our student population, gross square footage, and faculty and staff numbers increase, conservation and energy efficiency are key to reducing NAU’s impact. NAU has pledged to strive for climate neutrality, and over the past few years, NAU has made significant investments to reach this goal. In our monthly meetings, we discuss future projects, creative financing strategies, and ways to develop partnerships for large-scale renewable energy development across Northern Arizona.

We are a diverse group of student, staff and faculty members from NAU as well as from the larger Flagstaff community. We provide support and knowledge sharing, and strive to take on achievable projects across the areas of research, operations and education in order to conserve water resources, protect the natural environment, and promote sustainable landscape practices. To get involved with our team, please contact Janel Wilcox.

The focus for us is evaluating, supporting, promoting, and improving sustainable transportation alternatives at NAU. Explore the options available to students below, including biking, bus, and micro-mobility. To get involved with our team, please contact Erin Stam.

This committee works to promote the university’s ongoing commitment to sustainability in areas of unnecessary waste. We do this by developing infrastructure and processes to efficiently and effectively minimize all facets of waste generated on or by the NAU campus.
