This article is a re-edited version of an article about our university's efforts toward a sustainable campus that was published in "Toyo Keizai ACADEMIC Special Feature on Universities Working on the SDGs, Vol. 3: Toward the Post-COVID Era: Transforming Society through the Practice of SDGs" edited by Toyo Keizai Inc. (released on June 26, 2021).
A sustainable campus is a university that contributes to building a sustainable society through education, research, social collaboration, and campus development. The magazine introduces how our university has supported the well-being of society in many ways, not only by referring to a campus with a low environmental impact, but also by developing education and research rooted in social issues as a university-wide policy, and by implementing campus development in harmony with the surrounding area.
The magazine also includes an interview with President Takakin and introduces the university's efforts to contribute to achieving the SDGs.
