Episode Synopsis

I’m Vik Agabekov, the Program Manager for Sustainable Carolina and this week I am joined by our Chief Sustainability Officer and Director of the UNC Institute for the Environment, Mike Piehler. We are going in depth on the flurry of sustainability news that happened in April   and unpacking the transition to sustainable Carolina, outlining the Climate Action Plan Draft, and looking behind the scenes on the brand new Champion Sustainability Fund. Stay tuned and hear it on the sustainable Carolina Podcast!Launched in fall 2020, Sustainable Carolina is the University’s comprehensive initiative to advance and amplify all sustainability activities, including reducing the University’s environmental footprint through three goals: net zero water usage, zero waste to landfills and net zero greenhouse gas emissions. Led by Chief Sustainability Officer Michael Piehler, Sustainable Carolina will advance these goals through collaborative partnerships across operations, academics, and research.
