This course provides attendees with the fundamental basics of sustainability, the strategies and the processes for implementation. Typically organizations skip sustainability planning and begin implementing processes such as green building or environmental management systems without an overall sustainability plan. This oversight can lead to organizational discord among those executing the processes, budget/resource conflicts, and limited opportunities for creativity and ultimately success of the program.

Learning Objectives:
1. Establish a scientifically based understanding of the concept of sustainability.
2. Understand the fundamental basis, strategies and processes of a sustainability plan.
3. Synthesize current and future policies and projects within a framework of sustainability.
