Stifterverband report highlights room for improvement in German universities’ strategies to become environmentally friendly
Germany is seeing a lack of overarching initiative and too much heterogeneity in universities’ approach to sustainability, according to a progress report.
The report, issued by the Stifterverband, an association of science funders, said that just 25 per cent of German universities had a sustainability strategy in place. Another 64 per cent are planning one, it found.
