Sustainability
What is sustainability?
Longwood has adopted the definition of sustainability from Our Common Future: The Report of the World Commission on Environment and Development, commonly
known as the Bruntland Report:
"Sustainable Development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs."
Our Mission
The mission of the Sustainability Office is to provide leadership and guidance in planning, developing, organizing, and implementing programs and activities that promote campus sustainability initiatives. The Sustainability Office will maximize the effectiveness and efficiency of the university's sustainability efforts and provide a comprehensive, university-wide approach that encompasses the three components of sustainability-economic security, environmental protection and social justice.

The Island President
Wednesday, April 17, 2013
Wygal Auditorium 7:00 PM
The Island President captures Nasheed’s first year of office, culminating in his trip to the Copenhagen Climate Summit in 2009, where the film provides a rare glimpse of the political horse-trading that goes on at such a top-level global
assembly. Nasheed is unusually candid about revealing his strategies—leveraging the Maldives’ underdog position as a tiny country, harnessing the power of media, and overcoming deadlocks through an appeal to unity with other developing nations. After bringing democracy to the Maldives after thirty years of despotic rule, Nasheed is now faced with an even greater challenge: as one of the most low-lying countries in the world, a rise of three feet in sea level would submerge the 1200 islands of the Maldives enough to make them uninhabitable. -
