climate protection at the THWS: Katharina Falkenstein and the mission of a sustainable Hochschule

The Technical University of Würzburg-Schweinfurt (THWS) has taken an important step towards sustainability as a climate protection manager with the cessation of Katharina Falkenstein. Your task is to develop a climate protection concept and together with the sustainability officer Prof. Dr. Ulrich Müller-Steinfahrt to implement the legally anchored measures. The THWS has set itself the goal of becoming a climate -neutral university by 2028, which is a major challenge.

Katharina Falkenstein gained extensive experience in the field of climate change and sustainable development during her master's degree in humanography at the Ruprechts-Karl-Universität Heidelberg. Through her practical work in the public service in the field of climate and environmental protection, she was able to implement her theoretical knowledge and knows how important it is to include everyone involved in the transformation process.

The culture of sustainability on the THWS is made visible by the position of the climate protection manager. The university focuses on technical solutions for current challenges and emphasizes the importance of climate protection. Katharina Falkenstein is striving to take on climate protection holistically and to take ecological, economic and social aspects into account.

As a long -time vegetarian, Katharina Falkenstein also works privately for environmental protection. It attaches importance to resource conservation and sustainability in everyday life, which is evident in her personal commitment and behavior. Through her work on the THWS and her voluntary commitment in various environmental protection organizations, she lives her values and is actively committed to protecting nature.

Bavarian university legislation obliges the federal state's universities to become climate -neutral by 2028. The THWS is working intensively on a holistic sustainability strategy that should make it possible to make a significant contribution to coping with the climate crisis. Through innovative measures and the cooperation of all participants, the university strives for a long -term culture of sustainability.
