Manifesto for Generative AI in Higher Education

Imagination, Humanity, and the Future

Statement 24 of 30

Sustainability is a learning outcome.

Why this matters

GenAI engagement and innovation comes with environmental costs. Embedding sustainability as a core learning outcome means cultivating awareness of impact and environmental responsibility.

A question for reflection

How could the environmental cost of GenAI become part of what students learn, rather than a footnote to it?
