Institutions around the world are prioritizing sustainable operations following the pandemic. With students, faculty, and staff engaging with campuses differently during the pandemic, institutions are prioritizing improvements to a campus’ physical and technological infrastructure. In the early findings from what will be our third edition of the Connected Student Report, which will be coming later this year, global higher education leaders outlined numerous initiatives to support the environment, such as going net zero, removal of single use plastic, aiming for carbon neutral by 2030, solar power, and electric cars on campus.
Initiatives such as these can serve as a recruitment and retention tool for students, faculty, and staff. It can also reduce unneeded spend on energy and supplies. This blog post will cover specific initiatives and trends by country and region across the world.
