Sustainability
Campus © EPFL Niels Ackermann / Lundi13 (2021)
The climate and sustainability challenges we face are urgent, global and complex, and EPFL can help meet them by acting at the crossroads of education, research and innovation. Weâre committed to providing a sustainability-oriented education to our entire community, to finding sustainable solutions through research, and to transforming these solutions into useful tools for society through innovation. We also intend to make our campuses more resilient to climate change by taking concrete steps in all areas of our operations.
To move us towards our goals, we developed a Climate & Sustainability Strategy that provides a 360° view of the measures weâre implementing to make EPFL a more climate-responsible, sustainable School.
Our efforts have also included setting up a Sustainability Team within the Vice Presidency for Support to Strategic Initiatives (VPS), and working with partner networks both inside and outside EPFL to help us achieve our sustainability goals.
