Shaping the future: Open discussion on sustainability in Lübeck!
An open panel discussion on the topic of sustainability will take place at the University of Lübeck on October 15, 2025. The event begins at 10:30 a.m. in the CBBM and offers a platform for exchanging ideas about current challenges and solutions in the sustainability discussion. uni-luebeck.de reports that the university's commitment in this area has been pursued in a structured manner for several years.
A significant step in this direction was the establishment of a sustainability working group in 2019 under the then President. This committee follows a holistic approach and includes all status groups at the university. Since its founding, the working group has met every four weeks to promote exchange and further expand sustainability measures.
Sustainability in focus
The working group gave rise to the Green Office, which serves as a central contact point for bundling and further networking sustainability measures. The Executive Board is represented by the Chancellor and the Vice President for Transfer and Sustainability to ensure high visibility for the university's initiatives. The AStA's environmental department is also actively involved in these efforts and contributes to the implementation of sustainability projects.
The sustainability initiative is not just a local issue, but also reflects a global trend anchored in the goals of the 2030 Agenda. Universities play a key role in achieving international development goals. They act as training centers for qualified specialists who are able to develop innovative solutions and provide evidence-based policy advice. daad.de highlights that the DAAD is committed to increasing the contribution of higher education to sustainable development.
The goals include strengthening education systems worldwide and promoting sustainable economic development. Universities help strengthen entrepreneurship and create jobs. In this context, the importance of partnerships is also emphasized in order to develop viable solutions to global challenges and promote sustainable development.
