Climate Action; is a critical goal as it is interwoven with majority of other Sustainable Development Goals. Amity University Haryana is very much impactful to integrate the climate action perspective into its academic programs, research, and extension activities. University has a nodal institute i.e. Amity School of Earth and Environmental Science that design, formulate and implement academic programs, course work, and campus-based projects in the area of Environment and sustainability along with other institutes notably the Department of Renewable Energy, Architecture & Planning, Business School. A core course of ‘Environmental Studies’ for all UG programs provides a basic understanding of environment and sustainability including the ‘climate change and SDGs component’ in their very first year, while minor degree programs like environmental management, Climate Science, Renewable Energy provide scope for more specialization, while training in the area of green building (LEED Lab; prestigious capacity building program in collaboration with USGBC and GBCI) and renewable energy (Suryamitra; Skilling programme in solar energy fabrication for rural youth funded by Government of India) further skill up students for green jobs in the sustainability sector. Several campus-based study engagements like Social Awareness Programme (SAP), Biodiversity Survey, Plantation, and cleaning drives give SDGs mandate and compliance across students.
Recently in collaboration with Presidio Graduate School university offers MBA in Sustainability Management; a unique program in the Indian education landscape with the aim to mainstream sustainability education in professional programs. As per programme and course outcome mapping, all programs and their course work has been mapped with current requirement where environment and sustainability are also the parameters.
