Our university aims to be climate-neutral by 2030, with an effective emission reduction of at least 55% compared to 2018. In addition, the university subscribes to the ambition of being completely fossil-free by 2050. To achieve these goals, a climate action plan was written.

This Climate Action Plan was written in a bottom-up manner, with more than 200 students and staff members contributing and collaborating as the UAntwerp Climate Team. The climate plan aims to be in line with the Paris goals of less than 1.5°C of average global warming.

What is the Climate Team?  The Climate Team is a group of students, researchers, professors and administrative staff who work in thematic working groups to devise solutions and take actions to reduce the university's carbon footprint.

Because we need everyone’s talents and ideas for this incredible challenge, you are invited to join the 250 people that are already in!
