We all must do our part to combat the effects of climate change, and it is a goal of my administration to strengthen our institutional efforts by better connecting the extraordinary sustainability work already being pursued by so many of you across our campus. Antonios will help us embed environmental practices and policies into the fabric of our community, and set out a robust action plan to further our commitment and contributions to a more sustainable world.
NYU Abu Dhabi is committed to building and strengthening a university-wide culture of sustainability.
Through research and outreach, NYU Abu Dhabi is a thought leader in sustainability advocating the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations. Inspired by Sheikh Zayed’s vision and legacy, we seek to have graduates across all divisions understand issues surrounding sustainability and how their work can contribute to a more sustainable world.
Under the leadership of the Office of Sustainability and Stewardship, students, faculty and staff work closely to transform NYUAD into one of the region’s leading campuses in sustainability. Through strategies that span every area of university life, we aim to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, support teaching and research, and provide resources and guidance in establishing a culture of sustainability at NYU Abu Dhabi.
