Faced with the urgency of the energy and climate crisis, universities - in particular the University of Parma and those adhering to the Network of Universities for Sustainable Development (RUS) - are committed to playing a leading role in the energy transition. Through responsible policies, the adoption of efficient technologies and the enhancement of renewable sources, they promote concrete actions to reduce fossil energy consumption and climate-changing emissions. Central to this commitment is the work of the University Energy Managers, strategic figures in the implementation of sustainable and innovative practices.
Awareness-raising strategies implemented by universities to reduce energy consumption
The University Energy Plan is a tool for analysis and planning, designed to support the sustainable and efficient management and development of its energy resources, promote the use of renewable sources, and reduce the environmental footprint of its community.
