Tī Kōuka Ora

This programme enables the kotahitanga (collective action) of staff and students making efforts towards strategic change, using the programme as a tool to embed Tī Kōuka into their everyday.

Our decade of action

The Toitū te Taiao team has been working with epic tāngata across campus to deliver our 2023 – 2030 Sustainability Strategic Framework, Tī Kōuka. This document provides direction in what the United Nations refers to as our decade of action.

This framework is firmly placed in Aotearoa and approaches the challenges and opportunities of a sustainability transition through a bi-cultural and Tiriti based lens. The process of developing this framework alongside the Office of Māori Development has been critical in shaping our vision. This acknowledges the significant value of mātauraka Māori in creating a more sustainable future.
