Bowie State Universities' original Climate Action Plan states: “Although there are various definitions of sustainability, the basic meaning is living in a way that ensures that future generations enjoy the benefits of a healthy environment and social well-being. Sustainability is not limited to environmental concerns but rather integrates three dimensions: ecological integrity, social justice, and economic well-being.”
