Climate Change
The goal of the Working Group on Climate Change is to lead the universities' commitment in the fight against climate change through the sharing of information, materials and methods aimed at defining common parameters, knowledge, skills and good practices. The activities support the realisation of inventories of CO2 emissions of universities, the promotion of mitigation and adaptation plans, the support for the assumption of formal commitments to contain emissions promoting communication and training on this issue.
