CNA documentary series on Nanyang Technological University’s sustainability efforts

The three-part CNA series, which premieres on 20 Jul (Thursday), follows how NTU is walking the sustainability talk in all aspects - education, research, innovation, as well as community engagement - and how sustainability permeates every action the university takes.

NTU’s commitment to sustainability was recognised with the Whole Systems Approach Excellence Award by the International Sustainable Campus Network in May 2023.  On the NTU Smart Campus, there are eight Zero-Energy buildings, the most number amongst organisations in Singapore.

Viewers get an inside look at how the OneNTU community is using its expertise across various disciplines to combat climate change.
