September 2022 - 9 articles

Cover Story: This is the first attempt by the University of Patras to achieve the 2030 targets for CO2 emissions. In this study, an effort is made to accurately calculate and deploy the carbon footprint of the University of Patras, understanding the main contributors in order to successfully reduce the relative emissions by 2030, setting targets and developing a well-structured action plan. Students commuting and purchased electricity (energy management) are the main contributors to the University of Patras’ carbon footprint. What is then missing to close the loop is building a strong environmental culture and commitment to the targets among the members of the University of Patras. View this paper
