At An-Najah National University, sustainability is a core part of our campus culture. Both staff and students are provided with comprehensive training to increase awareness, build practical skills, and encourage actions that reduce environmental impacts and support a greener, more sustainable University. Our programs aim to integrate sustainability into daily campus life while fostering a culture of responsibility, innovation, and engagement.
An online sustainability training module has been developed at An-Najah National University to ensure that all staff members have the knowledge and skills needed to contribute to a positive environmental impact. The module explains how daily work activities can influence environmental and energy performance, highlights the role of staff in managing these impacts, and emphasizes the importance of adopting sustainable practices within the University.
