Ideas for a more sustainable university needed
Press release from 8 April 2025
The "Future Forum Climate-Friendly Universities (ZKH)" project has really picked up speed again in 2025. The aim of the project is to draw up a climate protection concept within the project period, which should provide for comprehensive measures in Action Area 1 of the Whole Institution Approach "Operations and Campus Management" in particular. By implementing the measures defined in the climate protection concept, at least 10% of the university's greenhouse gas emissions are to be saved.
In order to achieve this goal, it is now necessary to identify and subsequently implement targeted measures. The internal university task force accompanying the project has drafted an initial catalogue of measures, which will be successively supplemented by stakeholder meetings, bilateral discussions and the involvement of all university members. To facilitate the latter, a digital ideas box was created, which enables university members to contribute to the identification of measures.
