Climate Pledge 2025
We, colleagues at UCPH Anthropology, pledge in 2025 that we will
- Combine different plane trips into one, whenever possible (i.e take fewer and longer trips combining different purposes)
- Fly to conferences only if taking on an active role in an international panel/workshop/roundtable
- Ask our invited international guests to travel by train/bus instead of taking short-distance flights (see next point below)
Furthermore, we renew our former pledges to
- Travel by train or bus to destinations reachable within 13 hours (including Oslo, Stockholm, Uppsala, Prague and all major towns in Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium)
- Reduce food waste by labelling private food items in fridges, making non-labelled food available for anyone, and by sharing leftover food from meetings with students in ‘Katten’
- Minimise our carbon footprint while studying, researching and teaching
- Only order vegetarian (with vegan options) and mostly organic food and drinks for social and academic events
- Ban the use of bottled water and small portions of butter, jam, milk or cheese
- Ban the use of disposable glasses, cups, plates and cutlery
