- Sustainable development is integrated into all degree programmes, and related learning outcomes are defined in the curricula.
- All students have an understanding of sustainable development and an ability to help build a carbon-neutral future.
- When new activities are planned and implemented, actions for addressing climate change, sustainability issues and promoting carbon neutrality are always considered.
- Staff actively participates in promoting sustainability across the community.
