Sustainable development will only be possible if we succeed in keeping global warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius. To achieve this goal, greenhouse gas emissions must be reduced. In the long term, UZH's strongest lever to contribute to this global goal is its core tasks in research and teaching. However, it is important to also consistently reduce UZH's own carbon footprint to set an example. The following figure from the current sustainability report shows the emissions in tons of CO₂ equivalents of various activities at UZH.
