Therefore develop, redevelop, and remodel in ways that incorporate sustainable design principles,” Sustainable Development Plan 2001. • “Working towards climate neutrality is a significant undertaking for a large research institution and requires us to explore new territory, and we will continue to lead the way,” President Richard Lariviere’s introductory letter to the 2010 Climate Action Plan.
