Center for Regional Sustainability

The Center for Regional Sustainability (CRS) fosters research; establishes collaborations across campus and with partners from business, government, and education; and generates solutions that enhance the natural environment, economic vitality, and social equity in the greater San Diego-Tijuana region. The Center for Regional Sustainability’s primary mission is to advance sustainability through regional collaborations in higher education, research, stewardship, and outreach to ensure that generations of students will gain the skills and abilities that will allow our region to grow, prosper, and sustain itself in the long term. Our initiatives include: • Develop comprehensive solutions for the region’s key issues such as water resources, energy use, and transportation. • Educate and train the next generation of sustainability experts and practitioners to meet the needs of local businesses, governments and non-profits organizations. • Inform and educate the public about sustainability issues through curriculum, publications, web forums, and seminars and conferences.
