Low-Carbon Campus Roadmap 2030
We see a clear connection between our motivations - internal and external - and the strategic concerns in formulating this roadmap. | eBook
Our Alignments
Sustainable Development Goals
Our low-carbon targets are informed by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) – particularly SDG 7, 11, 12, 13, 15 and 17. We aim to leave a positive mark on our local communities and the global stage by scaling these goals to suit our campus’ vision, mission, and low-carbon targets.
We will take every opportunity to adopt affordable and clean energy to power our campus' daily operations.
We will build a campus community that is resilient and ready for the multidimensional effects of climate change.
We will inculcate responsible consumption and production habits among our staff and students. We will also model these sustainability values to local communities and our industry partners.
We will be known as a campus that welcomes and encourages climate action. We strive to be a platform where members of our campus community and beyond can come together to create and innovate new sustainable solutions.
As a university situated in one of the most biodiverse regions on earth, we will make every effort to conserve life both on- and offcampus. We will continue to make positive contributions to our natural surroundings through our research and projects.
When undertaking the strategies outlined in this roadmap, we will actively seek out fruitful partnerships for the goals. We will extend an invitation for collaboration and synergy to all members of our campus and local community, as well as the private & public sectors.

Research
The most visible and traditional method for universities that may help to deliver the SDGs is their research in relevant topics
Stewardship
Universities are significant contributors of resources; not only from physical resources, but also through employees, faculty and students. How they make management provision is one factor in delivering the SDGs
Outreach
Instructors play a critical role in ensuring that there are enough qualified practitioners in delivering the SDGs as well as ensuring that all alumni take steps forward in key learning for future career sustainability
