Sustainability@UM Training & Capacity Building Program
Welcome to the Sustainability @ Universiti Malaya Training and Capacity Building Program, a transformative initiative designed to cultivate a culture of sustainability across our esteemed institution. With sustainability at the core of our mission, this program plays a pivotal role in fostering awareness, understanding, and action among our diverse community of students, faculty, and staff.
Through a comprehensive curriculum spanning various disciplines and topics, participants will gain invaluable knowledge and skills to address pressing environmental challenges. This program aims to equip individuals with the knowledge and tools needed to lead sustainable initiatives within their respective domains.
Beyond individual skill-building, our program emphasizes the importance of enculturation – the integration of sustainability principles into the fabric of our university community. By nurturing a shared commitment to sustainability, we aim to create a collective mindset where sustainable practices become second nature.Participation in this program not only empowers individuals to make a positive impact but also contributes to the larger goal of building a more sustainable and resilient Universiti Malaya. Together, let's embark on this journey towards a brighter, greener future for generations to come.
