Campus Sustainability

The International Alliance of Research Universities (IARU) established a campus sustainability initiative in 2009, with the aim of promoting collaboration between member institutions and developing best practices strategies in environmental management.

The initiative was formally launched at the Climate Congress, University of Copenhagen in March 2009.

The Presidents of the IARU have stated their ongoing commitment to sustainability and each member of the Alliance has established programs to progressively improve their environmental performance across University activities, as well as building an ecologically literate community.

The relevant staff from each University communicate on matters of common interest, to identify opportunities to work together and exchange information.   Annual reports detailing the progress of this initiative are presented to the annual meeting of Presidents IARU.
