Azerbaijan Technical University is expanding the application of SDG 15 - Life on Earth principles on campus in line with the Sustainable Development Goals. The goal is to protect terrestrial ecosystems, support biodiversity and strengthen green infrastructure. In recent years, the work carried out at the university towards traffic management and promotion of micromobility has created a real opportunity to increase green zones. As a result of reducing parking areas from 2000 m² to 1800 m², the areas freed up have been transformed into green belts. This step contributes to preventing land degradation, reducing carbon emissions and creating a healthier ecological environment on campus.
The 1,700-meter bicycle path created between the university and the dormitory, the increased scooter infrastructure and the expanded pedestrian zones serve to reduce car use and maintain the ecological balance. The use of alternative means of transportation by hundreds of students and employees throughout the day strengthens the sustainability indicators of the campus. In the future, it is planned to expand the charging infrastructure for electric vehicles, further optimize parking and create additional green areas.
With these initiatives, Azerbaijan Technical University is not only an educational space, but also shaping a sustainable campus model where biodiversity is protected and ecosystems are supported.
