Greenhouse gas report 2019

The first greenhouse gas report of the University of Bern was prepared for 2019. This year serves as the base year for developing abatement and offsetting measures.

The University of Bern produced a total of around 7,861 tons of CO_2eq emissions in 2019. With around 4,720 employees expressed in terms of full-time equivalents (FTE), this corresponds to average emissions of roughly 1.67 t CO_2eq / FTE per year. Some 60% of total emissions were caused by air travel (4,734 t CO_2eq). Some one third of emissions (approx. 34%) arose in connection with energy procurement.
