The Mapping:
Green characteristics of UiO
Research: Amount and examples of researchrelatedto environmental sustainability at UiO.
Education: Share of total programmes and
subjects relevantfor environmentalsustainability
Operation: Where do we take environment in
consideration? And where do we not? Howbig is our CO2-Footprint*?
Learning from others: What is the best greenuniversity practice globally?

Key Outcomes
of the green mappingMain results
Authoritative baseline established.
Increased ownership: Different
stakeholders involved in the mappingprocess.
Mapping of the Non-countable
ensures relevance.
Mapping of ongoing activity enablescontinuity.

Of course, mapping is not enough;
We also have some Ongoing action ...
Energy- from fossilefuel to renewables
- 83% reduction fossile fuel
on campus for heating
(last 10 years)
100% renewable electricity :
up form 45% fossile to 0%
(guaranteed origin)
Social media -opening doors to newrooms for collaboration
and studentinvolvement
Open blog, tweets, Fb,
Scribd, Tumblr, Storify,
Counting the
moneyMovingaway from focus only on
red numbers (costs) to
black and green numbers
(economic gains and
environment). Longer
term thinking.
