About the Portal

Mission
To provide an overview of all teaching, research and outreach at UC Berkeley related to the environment and sustainability.

Description
With over 400 environmental courses, some 300 faculty, 86 academic degree programs, and dozens of research centers and campus groups working in the fields of environment and sustainability, UC Berkeley is among the world’s largest environmental research and teaching centers in the world. Organizing the breadth and depth of this work is a challenge that requires collaboration among these multiple campus units. The UC Berkeley Environment & Sustainability Portal is a content management system that allows faculty, staff and student organizations to easily share information about their respective programs, providing up-to-date one-stop-shopping for environmental resources at UC Berkeley.

About US

This portal is managed by staff and student interns at:

Berkeley Institute of the Environment (BIE).

The UC Berkeley Office of Sustainability (OS)

Chancellor’s Advisory Committee on Sustainability (CACS)

Previous versions this website, dating back to 2006, were maintained by BIE, with initial financial support from CACS. In 2008, the newly created Office of Sustainability joined in the effort to enhance UC Berkeley’s online environmental presence through the Portal.

If your organization is interested in supporting this project, and joining in the management of this Portal, please contact any of the above organizations, or contact Portal administrators directly at support@bie.berkeley.edu.
