STARS framework:
1. Definition of sustainability follows UN’s Sustainable development goals
and plan of action for “people, planet, and prosperity”, encompassing human and ecological health, social justice, secure livelihoods, and a better world for all generations.
1. STARS attempts to translate this broad and inclusive view of sustainability
to measurable objectives at the campus level.
➢ STARS includes credits related to an institution’s environmental,
social, and economic performance
➢ Measure sustainability performance in all sectors of higher education
