AR for Environmental Sustainability
The augmented reality (AR) visualizations below illustrate sustainability initiatives reflecting climate commitments at the University of Illinois Chicago campus.
Scan the QR codes with your phone’s camera and follow the prompts on your phone screen.
1. Carbon Neutral University
UIC will achieve carbon neutrality with net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by reducing and offsetting emissions related to operations and travel by 2050.
2. Zero Waste University
UIC will achieve a 90% diversion rate of landfill-bound material through techniques such as source reduction, materials reuse, recycling, and composting by 2050. (A 90% diversion rate is the generally accepted metric for zero waste.)
3. Net Zero Water University
UIC will reduce water consumption, maximize the proportion of non-potable water for campus water use, and reduce the volume, rate, and pollutant load of stormwater runoff by 2050.
4. Biodiverse University
UIC will create a resilient campus landscape that supports a variety of life by 2050.
5. Transformative Scholarship University
UIC will create meaningful interdisciplinary and sustainability-focused learning and research opportunities for its students by 2050.
