Net Zero Day

What does a Net Zero future look like?
What is ETH doing to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions?
And how can you contribute?

Until now, we do not know what it feels like to be part of a climate-neutral university. The path to net zero is like an expedition with a lot to discover, learn and obstacles to overcome. Success is not guaranteed. But by joining forces, we can make significant progress towards climate neutrality as part of the "ETH Net Zero" program.

Join us for the second ETH Net Zero Day, co-organized by ETH Sustainability, the Student Sustainability Committee (SSC) and many others on Thursday, 8 May at the CAB building from 1pm onwards. This event is designed to engage students and employees in ETH's expedition to net zero.

At the event, you will hear about the "ETH Net Zero" program and how ETH Sustainability, SSC, and other ETH units are working on reducing emissions. Additionally, there will be an interactive impact fair as well as engaging workshops for you to get active – followed by a delicious apéro and time for networking!
