Sustainability Report for the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro

Description

Being a centre of knowledge and a source of innovation the university strives the integration of sustainability into research and teaching as well as an encompassing sustainability management for the campus. The scheme started when the Fundo Verde was founded, which finances such projects. B.A.U.M. counsels the Fundo Verde since 2012. The latest project was a one-week workshop in Rio de Janeiro moderated by B.A.U.M.: the basis for a long-term sustainability strategy was developed focusing on the development of strategic measures, on the identification of indicators and on the definition of goals. The Fundo Verde is promoted by the state’s initiative “Rio Capital da Energia – Rio Capital of Energy“ (RCE) aiming Rio de Janeiro to become an international reference centre for energy efficiency and renewable energies.
