A brief description of the institution’s sustainability partnerships with the local community:
The Oberlin community—college and city— joined the Climate Positive Development Program, a joint initiative of the Clinton Climate Initiative, a program of the William J. Clinton Foundation, and the U.S. Green Building Council. This new partnership will prove instrumental in the implementation of the Oberlin Project, a planned green redesign of the Oberlin community. The project is a collaborative effort between the college and the city. The vision of the project joins the many strands of sustainability—urban revitalization, green development, advanced energy technology, sustainable agriculture, green jobs, and education—into an integrated response to the burgeoning crisis of climate destabilization, environmental deterioration, and economic turmoil.
