CityU Green Connections

Sustainable Development Goals

Presentation

Green Connections is a university-wide initiative launched in 2012 to connect members of the CityU community who are interested in addressing environmental and sustainability issues and problems. The connections are with each other, with sources of information and with environmentally-concerned parties outside CityU including NGOs, Businesses, government organizations and other Universities.

Objectives

To raise awareness of environment and sustainability issues among students, faculty and staff, and facilitate their taking action on these issues by:

• Maintaining a website with environmental and sustainability information and active use of social media.
• Hosting the Planet Room, a student activity and meeting room,
• Organizing environment talks, forums, workshops and activities in collaboration with student groups and faculty, and promoting events and activities on environmental and sustainability issues organized by other parties.
• Keeping a database of students who are interested in environmental issues and introducing these students to Faculty who request help on research projects and NGOs and Businesses who request for interns and volunteers in the environment field.

• Promoting GE courses on environmental and sustainability issues.

To help students launch and develop careers in the environment and sustainability field by providing, in cooperation with CAIO, internship information from our environment connections and partners.
