Welcome to the FAU Green Office website!
The FAU Green Office was established in April 2020 at the request of our students and has been the central coordinating body for sustainability and climate action issues at FAU since then. It is run jointly by students and members of staff.
It coordinates, consolidates and initiates projects and activities relating to sustainability at the University. At the same time, it acts as a platform helping students and members of staff to promote sustainability. This assignment covers various fields of university action: operations and campus management, teaching, research and transfer as well as university decision-making structures (governance).
The Green Office also performs central functions for FAU, such as purchasing emissions certificates or reporting on climate action.
