College of Natural Resources and Environmental Governance (NReg)

Equity & Inclusivity

We believe in inclusive access to education and opportunity. We ensure that diverse voices and perspectives — especially from historically marginalised communities — are heard, respected, and empowered.

Sustainability & Stewardship

We promote responsible use and management of natural resources, mindful of the needs of present and future generations. Our stewardship mindset extends to our institution — conserving resources, minimising environmental footprints, and modelling sustainable behaviour.

Impact & Relevance

We are driven by real-world impact. Our programmes, research, and outreach are designed to be relevant, timely, and responsive to the pressing environmental governance challenges facing Ghana, Africa, and the world.

Our values define who we are and guide every aspect of our work.

Core Values

Integrity & Accountability

We commit to the highest standards of honesty, transparency, and ethical conduct. We hold ourselves accountable for the outcomes of our teaching, research, partnerships, and community engagement.

Interdisciplinarity & Systems Thinking

We recognise that environmental and governance issues are complex and interconnected. We integrate knowledge across disciplines — ecology, economics, policy, sociology, and technology — to prepare well-rounded professionals.

Excellence & Innovation

We pursue academic and professional excellence in all we do. We foster creative thinking, technological adoption, and fresh approaches to environmental and governance challenges.

Partnership & Engagement

We value collaborative relationships. We actively engage with local communities, government agencies, industry, and NGOs, recognising that effective governance arises from dialogue, co-creation, and shared responsibility.
