AU wants to significantly reduce its CO2 emissions. Every year, a climate action plan is developed with specific initiatives to make the university more climate-friendly, and a greenhouse gas emissions report makes it possible to monitor the progress of initiatives. Read more about AU’s carbon goals, figures and initiatives on this page.
Climate and sustainability are part of AU’s overall strategic focus area, “A frontrunner in sustainable transition,” which encompasses research, education, and the university’s own operations.
The Climate Action Plan 2026 is AU’s plan for how the track “A sustainable organisation” will be translated into concrete operational initiatives – with a focus on reducing AU’s climate footprint and resource consumption.
