TAR UMT is committed to achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2030 in line with global climate goals and Malaysia's sustainability agenda. Our Net Zero Carbon Commitment Plan outlines a comprehensive approach to reducing emissions across core areas of operation, including energy use, water management, waste reduction, transportation, and campus-wide behavioural change. Through strategic investment, education, innovation, and collaborative action, we aim to build a resilient, resource-efficient, and low-carbon university that empowers our community to lead in sustainability.
To establish TAR UMT as a leading sustainable university committed to achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2030, fostering a greener future through innovation, education, and responsible environmental stewardship.
To implement transformative sustainability strategies that reduce carbon footprint, enhance energy efficiency, and integrate renewable energy solutions.
