Supporting CEP
As we enter the 21st century, human civilization’s potential has never
been greater. Our rapidly developing, technologically based society offers the
possibility of a standard of living that we could only imagine 50 years ago.
But
our prosperity has not come without a price. The rapid growth of the world’s
population and an increasing demand for consumable goods and services are depleting
the planet’s natural resources and placing stresses on the quality of human
life and our environment. It is clear that we must find ways to protect human
and ecosystem health and encourage a higher standard of living for all people
while also safeguarding the world’s natural treasures. Our goal must be
a society built on the principles of conservation and pollution prevention,
not waste and "after-the-fact" cleanup, while maintaining necessary
economic and social values. This is the goal of sustainable development and
the pathway of the students that The University of North Carolina at Chapel
Hill must prepare for the future.
The
University is addressing a number of major state, national and world issues
by obtaining private funds through its Carolina First campaign. One of the major
issues highlighted in Carolina First is threats to our environment. The Carolina
Environmental Program’s participation in Carolina First will play a major
role in addressing this University priority.
In doing so, the Carolina Environmental Program, led by its Carolina First Campaign
Steering Committee, seeks at least $10 million in private funds. These philanthropic
investments will encourage UNC-Chapel Hill students and faculty to examine innovative
approaches to teaching, research and community service that identify our society’s
future pathways to achieving economic prosperity for all while protecting the
natural environment.
