The structure of UvA’s CO2 footprint

Sustainability is an important theme for the UvA. In addition to conducting research and teaching about sustainability, we work on a daily basis to make the university itself more sustainable. Our goal is to reduce our environmental impact by 25% over the next five years, and we wish to have achieved the goals of the Paris Agreement by 2040. The UvA emits 67,835 tons of CO2 every year. We have mapped out the structure of these emissions in order to be able to choose effective measures. The infographic below shows how the university's CO2 emissions are distributed. Many measures are taken to achieve the sustainability goals, from reusable coffee cups to natural gas-free campuses.
