CO2-frei durch den Mai

Der Nachhaltigkeits-Monat Mai an der Uni Graz

Die Universität Graz geht in Sachen Klimaschutz mit gutem Beispiel voran und will mit klimafreundlichen Projekten die Ziele der Europäischen Union unterstützen. Bis 2030 sollen hierbei die Treibhausgase um mindestens 55 Prozent reduziert werden. Die Themen Nachhaltigkeit und Klimawandel sollten auch während der Pandemie an Bedeutung nicht verlieren – der Monat Mai steht auf dem Social-Media-Kanal Instagram ganz im Zeichen der Nachhaltigkeit und wird umrahmt von spannenden Inhalten, sowie nachhaltigen Gewinnspielen.

Getting even hotter: Researchers predict global warming of 1.7 degrees by 2027

While Europe is currently sweltering in the heat, global temperatures are also rising towards concerning record levels. In 2026, Earth’s surface air temperature is expected to reach 1.62 degrees, and in 2027 even 1.71 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. The long-term temperature rise – an average over a 20-year period – is predicted to exceed the 1.5-degree threshold of the Paris Agreement as of 2026 already. For the first time, researchers at the University of Graz have been able to make such a forecast so far in advance. The intensifying El Niño climate event favors forecast skill and thereby facilitates a reliable computation.

Almost three-quarters would like to see more public funding for education, whilst only around three per cent are in favour of cuts in this sector.
