Events such as conferences, symposia, or summer schools, as well as smaller internal meetings and sessions, are a defining feature of everyday university life. In doing so, they not only provide a space for academic exchange and networking, but through their organization and execution, they also contribute to resource consumption and the associated emissions.
At a three-day conference, the average CO₂ emissions per participant range between 0.5 and 1.3 tons. According to IPCC calculations, annual per-capita emissions would need to be reduced to 2.5 tons by 2030 and even to 0.7 tons by 2050 in order to achieve the 1.5-degree target. These connections illustrate that even the planning and execution of events can make a contribution to greater sustainability. This guide supports you in systematically integrating sustainability aspects into the planning, execution, and follow-up of your event.
