Office of Environment & Sustainability - About us​

As part of AKU's Office of the President, the Environment and Sustainability team leads the university-wide effort to build a healthier and more sustainable future.

​What We Do

  • We are overseeing the development and implementation of AKU's first environment and decarbonisation plan.
  • We develop tools and frameworks, build capacities, and provide accurate and up to date data and information to support all teams in their sustainability actions.
  • We continuously review and improve our environmental management systems.
  • We create linkages with academic programming, support student engagement, and liaise with research units on sustainability​ topics.
  • We develop communications materials to support the visibility of AKU's sustainability commitment and work.
  • We develop opportunities to leverage new resources to support the sustainability agenda.
  • We liaise with AKDN's Environment and Climate Committee, with AKDN agencies as well as other actors (academia, industry, government, and civil society) in AKU geographies and beyond.
