UNEP's Sustainable University Framework

Launched on 8 July 2021

This framework seeks to define what it means to be a sustainable university and lays out a pathway to becoming one. The framework also outlines how sustainability can be advanced in each of the four core areas of a university, including: 1) environment & climate, 2) teaching & research, 3) people & society and 4) administration & governance. The framework presents a 4-step process to becoming a sustainable university and shares useful tips on quick wins and how to get started in this journey.
