AASTMT’s leadership have a profound responsibility on how to use the campus as an educational opportunity to promote sustainability awareness. Ending biodiversity loss is a worldwide concern, not a sideshow. This is explicitly stated in the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which were established in 2015. SDG 15 emphasizes biodiversity in particular, with the goal of "protecting, restoring, and promoting sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably managing forests, combating desertification, and halting and reversing land degradation and biodiversity loss." AASTMT has begun to respond to these SDGs by implementing them into their business models and initiatives.

AASTMT implement sustainable practices that support land ecosystems, conserve biodiversity, and ensure the sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, as outlined in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 15. AASTMT also covers educational initiatives, policy implementation, collaboration, waste management, and conservation efforts within the AASTMT campuses and its immediate environment.
