Sustainability roadmap
AUT’s Sustainability Roadmap to 2025 outlines sustainability objectives, priority actions and targets across learning, research, governance and facilities. It supports AUT’s contribution towards the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Lucy McKenzie, Head of Sustainability, and Amelia Adams, Sustainability Graduate, are both working to implement the Sustainability Roadmap and the Sustainability Plan
Guardian of the roadmap
Launched in October 2018 by the Minister of Climate Change, the roadmap was developed by the former Vice-Chancellor's Taskforce for Sustainability, with input from AUT staff and students.
In 2023, the Sustainability Steering Committee was established to replace the former Taskforce and includes three staff from AUT’s executive leadership team, as well as the Head of Sustainability. The group is the guardian of the roadmap and plan, providing advice and ensuring that progress on targets is being made, and also updating the roadmap to reflect changes in technology, policy, economy and society.
