AIT is featured in the section on “Associations and Organizations”
which have joined the Climate Neutral Network. AIT is among those
“institutions which is adopting climate neutral principles in their
activities -- such as procurement and travel -- as well as promoting
climate neutrality to their members and/or partners”, the website
says.
While featuring AIT, the UNEP website refers to the golden jubilee of
the institute and states, “AIT remains a vital hub for international,
trans-boundary education and research with 1000 graduates annually, a
network of 16,000 alumni from about 80 countries and territories.”
“The Institute has been engaged in sustainable development research
and projects for a long time. These research efforts are now being
consolidated under the thematic knowledge umbrella of Sustainable
Development in the context of Climate Change. The institute’s focus on
multidisciplinary education and research in the region has guided its
work through the years under this theme”, the website adds.
The Stategy 2013 documents as well as the AIT photo gallery also form
a part of the website. The newly launched Centre of Excellence in
Sustainable Development in the context of Climate Change (SDCC) and the
theme of low carbon society also figure prominently in the UNEP
website.
