持続可能な発展のためにニュージーランドの教育が果たす役割
ニュージーランドの教育機関は、「カイティアキタンガ」（「守護」を意味する先住民マオリの概念）の精神に基づき、互いに、そして他のセクターと協力し、国を牽引して国連の持続可能な開発目標（SDGs）を追求しています。また、幅広い分野における豊富な知識と専門性を活用し、職員や学生に持続可能な習慣を奨励するなどの小さなステップの実施から、SDGsに照らして大学を評価する世界ランキングの上位達成まで、多岐にわたる分野で変化をもたらしています。

New Zealand universities perform well in global impact rankings
When the Times Higher Education launched its Impact Rankings in 2019 to assess universities against the 17 United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals across research, outreach and stewardship, New Zealand’s University of Auckland came out on top and maintained its leading position in 2020.
In the Impact Rankings for 2021(external link that opens in a new tab), despite a 48% increase in participating institutions, to 1,240 universities ranked worldwide, the University of Auckland maintains a position in the overall top 10 (9th=). It is one of four New Zealand universities ranked in the top 100, and all eight New Zealand universities are in the top 300 worldwide.
I was able to learn a broad approach to sustainable concepts from design to building technology and engineering systems to green building certification, which gave me a wide and deep insight as well as extensive expertise in sustainable building.
