Sustainability Action Research

A UCLA student-initiated, student-led organization exemplifying sustainability in the 21st century. 

Sustainability Action Research (SAR) is a student-initiated, student-designed, and student-facilitated research program offered through the Institute of the Environment & Sustainability (IoES). In the winter and spring quarters of each academic year, students on Sustainability Action Research Teams are partnered with a campus stakeholder to research, rethink, investigate, and tackle UCLA’s greatest sustainability issues.

Become a leader and make a difference.

Sustainability Action Research Leaders have the opportunity to:

• Design sustainability projects and implement actionable solutions on campus.
• Work towards sustainability goals for UCLA.
• Establish unique relationships with UCLA faculty, staff, and fellow students who are passionate about human and environmental challenges.
• Develop leadership skills in an applied and professional setting.
