Nachhaltige UB
Sustainable Campus
Illuminating scope for action and utilizing untapped resources: Ruhr-Universität is consistently committed to greater sustainability. This must also apply to the buildings and the campus. How can they be designed to be energy and climate neutral? What can the RUB community contribute? How can a sustainable everyday life on campus succeed?

The buildings are owned and rented by the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. The institutional framework restricts many options. But the task now is to illuminate room for maneuver. The potential is far from being fully exploited.
Green Campus 2030
As an organization, Ruhr University is committed to sustainability in the broadest sense. This includes the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, the sustainable design of the campus, a sustainable mobility concept, the reduction of energy consumption, the expansion of renewable energies and the implementation of a waste and circularity concept.
