The European Green Deal and universities

A roadmap for the sector
04 Dec 2023 Online
Online

The wide-ranging implications of climate change, environmental degradation, and loss of biodiversity and natural resources make it imperative to achieve a green transition that is holistic, swift, and fair.

Universities are in a unique place to address these issues, bringing together researchers, innovators, public and private sectors, as well as their surrounding communities. No less important is universities’ place at the centre of local communities and regions, which requires them to set an example as employers and civic institutions by limiting their own environmental impact and being mindful of ethics and equity. But not all institutions are well positioned to act equally swiftly or in the same way.

Following the release of EUA’s Green Deal roadmap, this webinar further discussed the processes and interventions which can boost universities’ impact and visibility in pursuing a climate-neutral, environmentally sustainable, and socially equitable Europe.

A recording of the webinar is available on our EUA Youtube Channel.
