Cambridge Compact for Sustainable Future
About
The Cambridge Compact for a Sustainable Future is a collaboration between city government, universities and businesses aimed at making Cambridge healthier, more livable and more sustainable. Its signatories pool their expertise, research, innovation, entrepreneurship and social enterprise to address global environmental challenges at a local level. The Compact organizes its efforts around a multi-year work plan divided into several focus areas.
When specific work needs doing, the Compact convenes working groups made up of individual participants from its signatory organizations, each led by a chair or co-chairs. These groups discuss topics, share best practices, identify chances to collaborate and give stakeholder input on sustainability initiatives in Cambridge. The Compact’s work has also been discussed at a world symposium on sustainable development at universities.
