The University of Neuchâtel and the environment

Are you concerned about your ecological footprint? Are you interested in sustainable development issues? At UniNE, you’re in the right place. Concern for sustainable development is enshrined in the institution’s founding documents.

It’s also evident in practice, in research and teaching topics, campus resource management, academic awards and student association projects.

Sustainability strategy

Sustainability is one of the institution’s key development priorities. On the environmental front, UniNE aims to achieve climate neutrality by 2045, and to reduce its other environmental impacts wherever possible. Specific action plans have been adopted for mobility and infrastructure, which are priority areas for action.
