How the institution works
UNIL mobilises its innovative strength to stimulate the emergence of academic and professional practices that are in line with global limits. As a place of transformative experimentation, UNIL helps to develop practices that are beneficial to human health and the environment in order to enhance the quality of life on campus.
With its 90-hectare campus, 35 buildings and a ‘population’ of more than 20,000, UNIL is like a small town facing a number of challenges, not least the ecological transition. As a university, UNIL is fortunate to be home to a dynamic research community and a large number of students keen to put into practice the knowledge they learn in their courses. UNIL is therefore a great place to test ambitious transition initiatives, document their effects, adjust them if necessary and then share them with the rest of society.
On the basis of a precise diagnosis of its environmental impact, UNIL plans to implement targeted actions on its main areas of impact in order to be on a trajectory compatible with respect for the Paris Agreement and planetary limits.
