UC Berkeley Sustainability
A Sustainability Training & Certification for Staff
Welcome!
Created by the Office of Sustainability, this UC Berkeley Sustainability Staff Training is composed of ten comprehensive modules, designed to allow you to work and complete at your own pace. Upon successful completion of the 10 modules, UC Berkeley Staff can earn a Staff Sustainability Training Certification of Completion showing your gained knowledge in sustainability. To record your staff development achievement it is recommended that staff enroll through the UC Learning Center. Becoming certified through this program also situates you (if you want) to become a peer to peer campus sustainability advisor, helping us build a widespread culture and community of sustainability at Berkeley.
The modules are designed to be a resource on important topics in environmental, social and economic sustainability, while offering a snapshot of UC and UC Berkeley’s unique culture and progress in these fields. The modules are a mix of topic and concept introductions supported with videos, articles and more. The modules include carbon neutrality, zero waste, resiliency and environmental justice, sustainable eating, ecosystems and biodiversity, built environment, transportation, sustainable spending, water, and engagement.
