With the establishment of the Green Office, Maastricht University acknowledges the important role institutions of higher learning play in confronting the climate disruption. In this regard, Maastricht University joins a global learning effort of universities, student organizations, NGOs, businesses and governments to provide solutions to the ecological, economic and social challenges humanity faces in the 21st century. Developing those responses to guarantee the peaceful survival of humanity, requires the pooling of multiple perspectives and a very high degree of collaboration among stakeholders. You will find more information about organizations involved in this global network developing solutions for a sustainable future under ‘Global Networking’. In addition, while researching on how best to decrease the ecological footprint of Maastricht University, Green Office staff came across very useful resources for anybody interested at greening colleges and universities that we provide in the ‘Knowledge Sharing’ section to you.
