Biodiversity
UCPH's will: Examine the areas in which UCPH’s activities have the greatest impact on biodiversity and, on this basis, develop specific goals, targets, initiatives and actions for UCPH as an institution in 2021.
Global and national biodiversity is under threat, which UCPH researchers help document. UCPH also impacts both local and global biodiversity through the procurement of products or services that are produced in harmful ways. Read more about UCPH’s six main focus areas.
UCPH develops concrete goals and initiatives with the involvement of the university’s broad expertise in the field. The goals may include strengthening biodiversity and nature experiences on the urban campuses, inspired by initiatives such as 'Vild Campus' and 'Vild med Vilje. In addition, the goals may cover activities on campuses outside Copenhagen and contribute to a focus on biodiversity in relation to UCPH’s procurement and consumption.
Green campuses
In Copenhagen, UCPH has a number of green areas that support urban biodiversity and create green spaces for staff, students, and citizens. Campuses outside Copenhagen, particularly Taastrup Campus, the Pometum and the Forest and Landscape College, include larger natural areas where preserving and strengthening biodiversity is a main focus, for example through the conservation of old fruit varieties.
