AU Climate and Sustainability Strategy

Ajman University is pleased to launch the AU Climate & Sustainability Strategy 2022-2030 which outlines the plan and measures to be taken to address climate change.

Climate change is a global challenge that needs collaboration and support from all members of the Community, whether you’re a student, faculty or staff member, external organization, contractor or a member of the public.

This document is written in line with the UAE Green Agenda 2015-2030, the National Climate Change Plan of the United Arab Emirates by the Ministry of Climate Change and the Environment (MOCCAE), as well as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations- mainly SDG 13 which aims to “take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts”.

The AU Climate & Sustainability Strategy 2022-2030 is a practical guide on how the University will deliver key climate commitments, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, supporting a carbon-neutral campus, reducing energy consumption, investing in energy optimization solutions and renewable energy, exploring new ways to decrease direct and indirect CO2 emissions, minimizing the environmental impact rating of the University activities and processes, and creating awareness on taking action for climate change.

The strategy considers how to achieve resilience to the impacts of climate change across University operations and supports a smooth and fair transition to a low and eventually zero carbon future.

Implementation of this strategy will be effective as of January 2022.
