Version One, release date April 18, 2022
The Climate and Sustainability Pledge was developed for release during 2022 Earth Week. It was developed under the charge of the Sonoma State President’s Sustainability Advisory Council (PSAC). The pledge evolved through discussions with scientific experts and local industry leaders. Although many people donated their time to the development of the pledge, local leaders generally requested that their names not appear on the pledge for various logistical reasons. If you are a local leader that helped contribute to the pledge and would like to be acknowledged, please contact us. The pledge is meant to be a living document. It will be re-evaluated and new versions will be released as new information becomes available. For suggestions or questions, please contact ssus@sonoma.edu. Please note that we may not be able to respond immediately due to the high volume of emails.
