Sustainability at BTU
BTU is working across all areas of its operations to achieve a future-proof transformation and the sustainable use of resources. Sustainability is a cross-cutting issue for us. As an institution that trains future decision-makers in society, BTU bears a special responsibility towards present and future generations. We are aware of the impact a university has on the environment, arising from:
the BTU’s role in the structural transformation of Lusatia, day-to-day university operations, research projects and findings, and its role as a multiplier in the field of environmental education and ethics.
With its environmental guidelines, the BTU has established a framework for action in this regard. This framework is implemented through continuous environmental management, involving as many members of the university community as possible at all organisational levels.
We are a member of the Sustainability Working Group at Brandenburg’s universities
The aim of the Sustainability Working Group at Brandenburg’s universities is to embed higher education for sustainable development in the long term within the consciousness of all members of the university community at Brandenburg’s universities.
Together, we share the vision of developing Brandenburg as a hub for a diverse range of sustainability studies.
The state-wide implementation of the Brandenburg Higher Education Agreements 2024–28 will also contribute to the realisation of the objectives of the Brandenburg Sustainability Strategy and SDG 4, ‘Quality Education’.
