Climate Strategy
The University of Bern is continuously working to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. This is an ambitious goal that requires everybody’s cooperation. The University of Bern can also count on its world-renowned research on climate change and adaptation to help achieve that goal.
In the process of developing a holistic climate strategy, the objective of climate neutrality was revised. The University of Bern is developing a participatory roadmap with concrete measures and targets and is refraining from making claims. Instead, it is focusing on a mix of measures that, in addition to reducing the university's greenhouse gas emissions, includes alternative ways of engaging in climate protection and making positive contributions to environmental protection. On top of that, as part of the Engaged UniBE initiative, we also want to blaze new trails by promoting transdisciplinary projects that help bring about a societal transformation toward greater sustainability.
