CAMPUS PLAN 2030
STRATEGY
TO DEVELOP A SUSTAINABLE CAMPUS Outlining the global goals for sustainable development, Agenda 2030 will underpin the continued process of developing the campus.
CAMPUS PLAN 2030
COMMITMENTS AND STRATEGIC CHOICES In summary, this will entail commitments and strategic choices in our day-to-day activities, during procurement and various purchases, in how we utilise our premises and on work to develop our campus. • The development of the campus will be subject to climate requirements for all procurement of products and services, where relevant. These requirements will be reviewed systematically.
• To develop the campus so as to encourage travel to and from the area with as little environmental impact as possible. • Carbon dioxide emissions associated with catering and the restaurant shall be reduced.
• Energy consumption at the University shall be reduced by m2, and the energy used will be renewable. Moreover, the University's internal production of renewable energy will increase.
REDUCING CLIMATE IMPACT The academic world has a key role to play in counteracting negative climate change. The so-called Klimatramverket (Climate Framework) is an initiative taken by universities and higher education institutions the aim of which is to make a clear contribution to climate change in line with
society’s national and international commitments. Along with 35 other institutions, we have committed to reducing our negative climate impact in line with the 1.5 degree target, that is, by achieving a 50% reduction by 2030 and hitting net-zero emissions by 2045.
EFFECTIVE PROVISION OF PREMISES
• To minimise carbon dioxide emissions associated with new-builds and reconstruction.
• To reduce carbon dioxide emissions associated with the University’s purchase of equipment and consumables from a life-cycle perspective.
• To create systems for monitoring carbon dioxide emissions generated by the activities run on campus.
PRIORITISED PROJECTS
In accordance with the recommendations of the Swedish National Audit Office in its report entitled “Provision of Premises in Centres of Learning – Room for Development”3 the University shall endeavour to effectively utilise
all of its premises. Through sustainable planning and effective utilisation of premises, resources can be devoted to the right areas. This also enables potential future expansion without increasing the portfolio of premises.
• Implementation of plan for reducing climate impact
