Sustainability Roadmap and the Taskforce for Sustainability
AUT’s Sustainability Roadmap outlines sustainability objectives, priority actions and targets across learning, research, governance and facilities.
The roadmap was developed by the Vice-Chancellor’s Taskforce for Sustainability with input from staff and students. It supports AUT’s contribution towards the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
