Climate Protection at the HTWD
Germany aims to be climate-neutral by 2045. In order to achieve this goal and make an active contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, HTWD is developing a climate protection concept as a first step, which maps out the roadmap for our future climate protection efforts.
Climate protection is a cross-cutting issue that affects all areas of a university and requires the involvement of all university members (students and staff). The climate protection concept of the Dresden University of Applied Sciences (HTWD) focuses on 5 fields of action and includes the following main topics:

The integrated climate protection concept of the Dresden University of Applied Sciences is funded by the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (www.bmu.de) and supported by the project management organisation Zukunft - Umwelt - Gesellschaft (ZUG) gGmbH (https://www.z-u-g.org/nki/).
With the National Climate Initiative (www.klimaschutz.de), the Federal Ministry for the Environment has been initiating and funding numerous projects that contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions since 2008. Its programmes and projects cover a broad spectrum of climate protection activities, from the development of long-term strategies to concrete assistance and investment support measures. This diversity is a guarantee for good ideas. The National Climate Initiative helps to anchor climate protection on the ground. It benefits consumers as well as companies, local authorities and educational institutions.
