– We want the new climate and environmental strategy to have real impact, and as such we follow up with a list of concrete measures that will be adjusted and supplemented along the way. The measures are directly linked to each more general sub-goal in the strategy, says Mette Halskov Hansen, Vice-Rector for Climate & the Environment and Cross-Disciplinarity.
– For example, we propose to create more honours certificates within the fields of climate, environment and sustainability, and to make sustainability didactics a topic of our pedagogical education for all academic staff. Furthermore, we want to develop a support scheme for radical interdisciplinary research related to sustainability, and when it comes to green operations, we propose – among other things – that parking and charging of privately owned cars on campus will be subject to payment, she says.
The new and comprehensive climate and environmental strategy is in accordance with the UN Sustainability Agenda. It sets out from the climate and environment dimension of the agenda, but includes the broader issues inherent in the concept of sustainability. The strategy should strengthen UiO's sustainability work in a way that ensures our basic goals of promoting independent and long-term research, as well as educating academically strong, independent, critically minded students who are also aware of their societal responsibility.
