Less plastic waste in the North Sea and better cooperation in spatial planning: two new EU projects at the university are addressing these topics.

Living plant roofs, green oases of well-being, underground water reservoirs and biotopes in the neighbourhood: the "Oldenburg Climate Tour" shows how climate change is also changing the city, including in the university's Botanical Garden.

For the tenth time, students and experts from academia and practice will meet at the university next weekend for the three-day NachDenkstatt. The conference is being held under the motto "Think. Act. Change.".

Advancing sustainability and climate protection at universities together, intensifying dialogue and cooperation: This is the aim of the Sustainability Network of Universities in Lower Saxony (HochNiNa).

The university interlinks start-ups and sustainability at all levels – research, teaching and consultancy. Those interested in launching a company receive comprehensive support right from the start.

The university aims to be climate neutral by 2030. An integrated climate protection concept provides the framework for this ambitious plan.

Rising sea levels, groundwater salinisation and drier summers: the consequences of climate change affect the coastal areas of northern Germany. Leena Karrasch is investigating how society can adapt to these changes.

The university is a founding member of the "Nature Positive Universities" alliance – recently presented at the UN Biodiversity Conference in Montreal. The target is to create new habitats and to stop the decline of biodiversity on campus.

Combining economic and ecological thinking right from the start of a company: A project team led by Oldenburg has dedicated itself to this goal and has made it onto the shortlist for the EU Business Promotion Awards.

Climate Protection Manager Anna Krämer is committed to achieving climate neutrality at the University of Oldenburg. In this interview, she talks about her tasks and her vision for the university.
