Sustainability at Malmö University

Malmö University has a strong, institution-wide commitment to sustainability that shapes its research, teaching, campus life, and community engagement. The university’s vision and values call for contributing to a more sustainable and equal society through research-based knowledge, critical reflection, and readiness to act, and its operations are aligned to environmental, social, and economic goals. In teaching and learning, sustainability is woven into curricula via interdisciplinary courses and leadership programs, where students develop skills to address global goals such as climate action, justice, and health.
