University of Graz Biodiversity Strategy
A plan for the development and implementation of measures to promote biodiversity on the University of Graz campus
The University of Graz’s biodiversity strategy aims to develop and implement specific measures to promote biodiversity on campus as effectively as possible. The focus is on the design and use of buildings and outdoor spaces in the day-to-day running of the university. The strategy helps the university to design its grounds in a way that is close to nature and promotes biodiversity, and to embed these values in the university’s daily operations for the long term.
Biodiversity Guide
A guide by the Alliance of Sustainable Universities in Austria on promoting biodiversity at universities.
The ‘Biodiversity’ working group of the Alliance of Sustainable Universities in Austria has developed a comprehensive guide specifically for higher education institutions, which outlines how biodiversity can be specifically promoted on campus. This guide not only contains important background information on ecological interrelationships and the significance of biodiversity, but also numerous inspiring, practical tips and concrete recommendations for action. From small-scale measures to more extensive projects, a wide range of ways are highlighted in which universities can actively contribute to the conservation and promotion of biodiversity. The aim is to make university campuses not only more sustainable, but also more vibrant and closer to nature.
