In order to contribute to the achievement of UN SDG 13, TSUULL undertakes meaningful initiatives to invoke climate action through education, innovation, and adherence to climate commitments, making the necessary changes to protect the planet. These changes also provide opportunities to modernize people’s lifestyles, create new job positions, and promote greater prosperity across the globe.
The TSUULL Sustainability Practices Office, established to ensure the fulfillment of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), continuously monitors, evaluates, and reports on the university’s progress toward SDG 13 (Climate Action). In collaboration with the university leadership, the office has successfully led initiatives that make TSUULL one of the most sustainable higher education institutions in the region.
One of the key achievements has been the complete transition to renewable energy sources. Today, TSUULL generates approximately 235% of its total energy needs from clean and renewable sources—solar energy, biodiesel systems, and biomass energy. The surplus is supplied to nearby institutions, further contributing to a greener community and supporting Uzbekistan’s national energy transition goals.
