Environment

The University of Washington has had a long-standing commitment to ensuring a sustainable future for Washington state and beyond. Through advanced scholarship and research, we’ve made great strides toward a thorough understanding of how our environment works, but a collective effort is needed if we are to set the world standard for environmental stewardship.
