Projects

"Making A Change" is a cooperation project between science and school. In cooperation with the CCCA (Climate Change Center Austria) and the Federal Ministry of Education, Science and Research, BOKU supports students throughout Austria in creating a CO2-balance sheet for their school. In addition, possible climate neutrality strategies are being developed.

Together with the Federal Environment Agency and Graz University of Technology, BOKU has developed the CO2 balancing tool "ClimCalc". A user-friendly emissions accounting tool. This open-source tool helps students and organizations of all kinds to calculate their emissions and reduce their footprint.

Since 2013, the competence center for climate neutrality has been compiling BOKU's greenhouse gas balance sheet. These balance sheets are an important control and steering instrument and form the basis for strategic decisions and objectives in the context of sustainability.

The knowledge network currently consists of 6 partner organizations. Together, as part of a CCCA working group, we are developing guidelines and standards for the climate neutrality of companies and organizations in Austria. As a think tank, we promote social and political discourse and help set the course for a climate-friendly future.
