Sustainability Science
Live sustainability now.
Enjoy a better Earth later.
What is sustainability science? It’s a framework, a blueprint, for protecting life and resources on Earth. It’s more than composting, recycling, and advancing energy efficiency—it’s a mindset for how we interact with the planet.
We study natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities to understand this interaction between humans and the environment. We emphasize education and research to create solutions to complex problems threatening humanity’s survival.
Sustainability science is at the heart of everything we do at Unity because to us, nothing is more important than the mark we make on this planet.
Welcome to the environmental century.
Prepare for a new age.

Sustainability in higher education
It’s time for higher education institutions to prepare students for a changing world. We’re rising to answer that call.
Unity has earned the gold STARS (The Sustainability Tracking, Assessment & Rating System) seal. This seal represents our commitment to meeting our sustainability goals in all energy, water, waste, financial, and social aspects.
We are proud to be part of the American College and University Presidents’ Climate Commitment (ACUPCC). With this commitment, we’ve pledged to create a strategic plan for making our campus climate neutral–and we’ve started by divesting from fossil fuels but our efforts don’t stop there.
