Putting sustainability and reciprocity into practice requires re-shifting our perspectives and the basis on which our cultures are built towards a deep socio-cultural transformation. Aligned with UWC Costa Rica’s mission, the Sustainability Framework provides a framework for the future campus and a set of proposals and recommendations for implementing measures and transitioning and building its infrastructure.
Sustainability Principles & Action Lines
This framework proposes guiding principles needed for a culture of sustainability, understanding this as reciprocal and regenerative action. These Sustainability Principles (SPs), aim to encompass all actions needed for the transition towards a school exemplary in its sustainability and inherent values.
Having established the Sustainability Principles (SPs) as a general framework, our big challenge is to put them into practice (individually and collectively) towards the paradigm shift needed for a sustainable future.
