Climate Change & Water Management (UNR1601) community learning program
The Climate Change & Water Management program welcomed broad participation and helped build adaptation capacity for water resources under climate stress. It supports climate literacy, water-resource awareness, adaptation skills and practical sustainability education for students and community participants.
Community workshops on waste reduction, energy conservation and sustainable mobility
AASTMT continued partnerships with local governments and community organizations in 2024. Community workshops focused on waste reduction, energy conservation and sustainable mobility. The AASTMT Carbon Emissions Reduction and Sustainability Progress Report states that such community workshops previously drew 1,500+ participants and were held again during 2024. These workshops are counted as sustainability community service projects because they provide direct community outreach and applied learning for students.
Student-led responsible consumption and waste-sorting campaigns
AASTMT sustained regular student-led campaigns on responsible consumption and waste sorting in 2024. These campaigns supported behavior change, correct sorting practices, resource efficiency and waste minimization across campuses.
Recycling drives
AASTMT continued recycling drives as part of its student and community engagement model. These activities supported recycling access, paper/plastics/e-waste awareness, selected Scope 3 emissions reduction and wider participation in sustainable campus practices.
Tree-planting and urban-greening activities
AASTMT continued student and community engagement activities including tree planting. These activities support urban greening, climate resilience, environmental awareness and community participation in sustainability.
Hands-on waste audits and sustainability audits
AASTMT provided practical learning opportunities tied to coursework and projects, including waste audits. These activities involve students directly in sustainability assessment and resource-efficiency actions, supporting evidence-based campus improvement.
Renewable-energy walk-throughs and HVAC/BMS awareness sessions
AASTMT provided practical student learning opportunities including renewable-energy walk-throughs and HVAC/BMS awareness sessions. These activities help students understand renewable energy, energy efficiency, building controls and greenhouse gas reduction in campus operations.
Coastal Cities NGO and multi-partner climate adaptation workshops
AASTMT participated in multi-partner workshops on coastal cities that gathered NGOs, researchers and policymakers to address sea-level rise, erosion and extreme weather. These activities strengthened adaptation literacy and practical early-warning knowledge, supporting climate resilience for coastal and urban communities.
AASTMT’s sustainability community service projects are aligned with its Climate Action Plan 2024 and its wider SDG 13 pathway. The Climate Action Plan identifies community and government engagement priorities including partnership MOUs, workshops for residents and SMEs, joint resilience projects, student service-learning, community recycling, energy awareness and sustainability education. The Carbon Emissions Reduction and Sustainability Progress Report 2024 confirms continued student and community engagement through recycling drives, energy-awareness activities, tree planting, hands-on audits, responsible consumption campaigns, waste sorting, renewable-energy walk-throughs and HVAC/BMS awareness sessions.
These projects also support AASTMT’s verified climate performance. In 2024, AASTMT’s total carbon footprint was 103,862,750 kg CO2e, representing a 3.0% reduction from 2023 and a 32.8% reduction below the 2019 baseline. Student and community sustainability projects contribute to this pathway by promoting behavior change, waste minimization, energy awareness, climate literacy and long-term engagement in sustainability.
