The focus is on sustainability: Kiel university inspires with exciting sustainability days!

Kiel, Deutschland - The focus: the Sustainability Days 2025 at the Christian-Albrechts-Universität to Kiel (CAU) took place from May 13th to 15th Employees and interested Kieler. With a varied program that included lectures, workshops and interactive formats on the subject of sustainability, a lively discussion room was created. Particularly noteworthy was the play "Climate Monologue", which impressively addressed the global challenges of climate change.

On the Audimax forecourt, numerous projects and organizations presented their initiatives implemented in the region. Alke Voß, the Kiel City Councilor for the Environment, Climate Protection and Mobility, and CAU Chancellor Claudia Meyer visited the event. Meyer underlined the importance of the active implementation of sustainability strategies at the university, which can be seen as part of a comprehensive change process that aims to promote a sustainable university culture.

diverse workshops and lectures

The lectures and workshops dealt with numerous relevant topics, including CO₂ reduction in business trips and the development of sustainable learning environments. The cafeteria offered an insight into its sustainable work processes, while the lectures illuminated interdisciplinary aspects such as psychology and the problem of pharmaceutical residues in the environment. However, the organizers were concerned about the small number of participants in the workshops and lectures and wished for a higher response.

The Sustainability Days were organized by the Green Office of the CAU and the unit Klik Environmental Management . The repetition of the event is to be established as a fixed, recurring format annually. This is part of the ambitious plans of the CAU to be greenhouse gas -neutral by 2030, and the university pursues a comprehensive strategy for promoting sustainability in research and teaching.

sustainability as a long -term goal

The goals of the CAU are not only in reducing greenhouse gases, but also in the optimization of energy requirements, promoting biodiversity and avoiding waste. These measures should not only reduce operating costs, but also strengthen the sustainable profile of the university. Claudia Meyer, who is also an environmental management officer, has promoted the organization and support of numerous topic -specific events and campaigns for climate protection in order to sharpen awareness within the university community.

In the context of sustainability training, similar efforts can also be felt at other universities. The DetailsOrtKiel, DeutschlandQuellen
