Green Environment

About the theme

A green environment contributes to the preservation and enhancement of the quality of life for humans and animals. More and more, the green environment is the answer to challenges such as climate change and combating pests, and it has a beneficial influence on our health.

Strategic Goals for 2030

Our campus is a green oasis designed to connect and team up. Our luscious green oasis provides cooling during warm periods. We swapped paved terrain for nature around, on and on top of our buildings. The abundant native flora and fauna contribute to a healthy environment with clean air, fertile soil, edible plants and loads of spaces where all like to hang out and form a green lung in the heart of Eindhoven.

In 2023, alongside the TU/e Landscaping Vision, a Green-Blue Policy was formulated and subsequently approved. This new policy is designed to tackle environmental concerns such as biodiversity preservation, mitigating heat stress and managing potential flooding issues. Various analysis were conducted in the formulation of this policy revealing, among other findings, the percentage of green space present on Campus and the quantity of CO2 stored by mature trees within the Campus area.
