Climate Pledge 2024

We, anthropologists at UCPH, pledge in 2024 that we will:

  • 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’.
  • Find out concrete ways to reduce our carbon footprint while studying, researching, and teaching.

Furthermore, we will continue to fulfil our pledges from 2023:

  • 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 cups, glasses, plates and cutlery
