KIs sustainability work
Good public health is both a prerequisite and a goal of sustainable development. An important part of Karolinska Institutet's sustainability work is to highlight and strengthen KIs research and education that contribute to knowledge about how society affects human health, now, in the future, locally and globally. KIs sustainability efforts also include environmental and social responsibility in the way KI as an organisation is operated.
