Why?
The UGR must strive to become an environmentally responsible University and contribute to making the cities in which it is located smarter and more sustainable. It is vital to promote education on sustainable development; respect for biodiversity; reducing pollution and the human impact in the production, marketing and consumption of goods and services; waste treatment and recycling of all types of materials within the context of the circular economy; responsible consumption and reduction of energy and water use; and support for the Internet of Things and Big Data technologies to achieve smarter and more sustainable campuses. The University needs to increase its resilience to the current climate crisis and manage its resources more sustainably.
How?
By adopting measures to reduce the environmental impact of the UGR and thereby contribute to the protection of the planet. By transforming the economic model through knowledge that prioritises sustainable development and promotes education on biodiversity and respect for the environment. By generating sustainable energies by utilising our facilities and buildings and complementing them with the use of technological systems for energy management and control. By promoting responsible consumption and sustainable mobility.
