CLUSTERS
As a key actor in transforming UiTM into a sustainable green campus, UiTM Green Centre (UGC) focuses on six (6) key clusters: Setting and Infrastructure, Waste, Water, Energy and Climate Change, Education and Research and Transportation. Each cluster has its own specific aim in support of the environmental sustainability agenda of the university.
The university was awarded the 9th place among the 20 institutions of Higher Learning (IHL) in Malaysia in UI Green Metric World University Rankings 2020 (UIGM).

Energy & Climate Change: explores the application of renewable and efficient
energy in university buildings as well as the level of knowledge about nature and
energy resources. This is considered the most relevant indicator in the index. It is
assigned a global weighting of 21% and defined by:
- Use of energy-efficient appliances (2%)
- Implementation of intelligent buildings (3%)
- On-campus renewable energy production (3%)
- Total Energy Consumption/Campus Population (3%)
- Renewable energy production/energy consumption (2%)
- Green Building Implementation Element (3%)
- Program for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (2%)
- Total Carbon Footprint/Campus Population (3%)
Universities should thus take measures to improve their performance in all issues
related energy and climate change.
An insight into University roles in fostering sustainable development through education, research and practices. This is considered the most relevant indicator in the index. It is assigned a global weighting of 18% and defined by:
