Internationaler Tag für biologische Vielfalt. Gärten spielen seit Jahrhunderten als Pflegestätten der Artenvielfalt eine Schlüsselrolle

Der heutige Internationale Tag für die biologische Vielfalt (IDB) der Vereinten Nationen steht dieses Jahr unter dem Motto Ernährung und Gesundheit.

Spätestens mit den alarmierenden Nachrichten über das Insektensterben ist die Bedeutung der Biodiversität ins Zentrum eines breiten öffentlichen Interesses gerückt. Gärten spielen hier seit Jahrhunderten eine Schlüsselrolle als Pflegestätten der Sorten- und Artenvielfalt von Nahrungs- und Heilpflanzen – wie der Botanische Garten der Universität Graz zeigt.

Als Biodiversitätsoase im urbanen Lebensraum beherbergt er nicht nur mehr als 5000 Pflanzenarten, sondern auch über 160 Arten an Wildbienen, die sich aus dem reichen Angebot des Gartens ihre Lieblingspflanzen aussuchen können. Die Erforschung und Archivierung der Biodiversität hat am zugehörigen Institut für Biologie der Uni Graz eine lange Tradition. Die international renommierte botanische Sammlung des Instituts umfasst etwa 1.2 Millionen archivierte Objekte, die eine Grundlage für die Erforschung der Biodiversität und ihres Wandels bilden. Derzeit sind Mitarbeiter des Instituts für Biologie intensiv mit dem Projekt Austrian Barcoding of Life (ABOL) beschäftigt, eine Initiative zur molekularbiologischen Erfassung der österreichischen Biodiversität.

Am Sonntag den 16. Juni 2019 veranstaltet die 7. fakultät gemeinsam mit dem Botanischen Garten einen "Botanik Brunch", mit Führungen, KinderWorkshops und Verkostungsstationen. Der Eintritt ist frei. Jeder ist herzlich willkommen.

Fair distribution: Researchers determine just greenhouse gas budgets for all EU regions

Ten years ago, on 12 December 2015, the Paris Climate Agreement was signed at the UN Climate Conference. In order to limit global warming to well below two degrees, only a certain amount of CO2 may be emitted worldwide. While the focus was originally on national emission targets, more than 200 subnational regions and almost 300 cities have now adopted their own targets. But how many emissions are they fairly entitled to? Researchers at the University of Graz have now developed transparent criteria for fair distribution at the subnational level for the first time and determined corresponding greenhouse gas budgets for all European regions. The paper was published today in the scientific journal Nature Communications.

Chemical Christmas show at the University of Graz: An explosive evening at the Schauspielh

At the beginning of December, the University of Graz transformed the theater into a laboratory: as part of “Chemical Life,” teacher training students staged a chemical Christmas show for Styrian school classes—complete with ethanol rockets, nitrogen snow, and glowing effects. An evening designed to inspire interest in studying chemistry.

Train by train: Koralm railway accelerates exchange between the Universities

Lectures at the University of Klagenfurt in the morning, seminars at the University of Graz in the afternoon: Austria's longest tunnel and a journey time of around 45 minutes make it easy. The Koralm railway increases the speed of networking between the two university locations. The collaboration builds on existing cooperation - for example in the areas of teacher training, Slavic studies and as employers, the universities are well coordinated.
