Sustainability and climate protection

Climate protection and universities

Successful climate protection is a task for society as a whole that can only be achieved together. In order to limit global warming and meet the climate targets set by the German government and the Bavarian state government, everyone, including universities, must play their part. Universities are, on the one hand, public institutions with a special responsibility for the education and training of students and, on the other hand, innovation laboratories in which tomorrow's lifestyles are already being researched and tested today. Successful climate protection management at universities therefore has an impact on society, has a lasting influence on future lifestyles, and also helps universities to improve their energy and climate footprint.
