Grüner reisen

Auch wenn Corona-bedingt das Reisen derzeit stark eingeschränkt ist, stellt sich dennoch die Frage: Wie können wir nachhaltig mobil sein?

Auch wenn Corona-bedingt das Reisen stark eingeschränkt ist, stellt sich dennoch die Frage: Wie können wir nachhaltig mobil sein?

Die Bedeutung von Forschung für den Alltag sichtbarer machen, ist das Ziel einer Plattform, die heuer die Österreichischen Universitätenkonferenz eingerichtet hat: uninteressant.at Auf diesem Portal wird Wissenschaft mit konkretem Alltagsbezug präsentiert. Und das zu verschiedenen Schwerpunkten: Derzeit steht das Thema Mobilität im Fokus. Volkswirt Gabriel Bachner, Forscher am Wegener Center für Klima und Globalen Wandel, erklärt, wie wir nachhaltig unterwegs sein können, ohne dabei unseren Planeten zu zerstören. Der Umstieg auf Bus und Bahn schützt das Klima und macht auch volkswirtschaftlich Sinn.

Der Verkehr vom Wohnort zur Arbeit hat einen großen Anteil, rechnet der Verkehrsclub Österreich (VCÖ) vor: allein nach Graz pendeln regelmäßig mehr als 100.000 Menschen. Gabriel Bachner hat einen konkreten Lösungsvorschlag: den Umstieg auf den Bus oder den Zug. Damit das auch im ländlichen Raum funktioniert, müssten aber Car-Sharing-Konzepte deutlich ausgebaut und günstiger gemacht werden.

Staying fit during the holidays: summer sports on the University of Graz campus

The Kleeblattlauf is not the end of the fitness term. Following last year’s successful launch, the University of Graz is once again offering summer sports on campus this year. From 30 June to 16 July 2026, there will be a free exercise programme in the open air. On the shady Südwiese (between the main building and Universitätsplatz 2), anyone interested can get in shape in the afternoons with body workouts, fascia training and yoga.

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.

Forest fire at Rosenhain: Volunteer fire brigade carried out an evacuation drill at the Jesuit refectory

Thick smoke in the stairwell, flames at the edge of the forest, people missing in the Jesuit refectory at the University of Graz: at Rosenhain, the Graz Volunteer Fire Brigade carried out a drill simulating a scenario that is becoming increasingly realistic given the heat and drought

Full effort in the heat: the Sports Centre was in full swing at the Kleeblattlauf

On 19 June 2026, 2,000 runners and hundreds of supporters made their way to the Rosenhain for a sporting end-of-term event.
