Climate action

Action 2040

Politecnico di Torino aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2040.  


The path to reach the ambitious goal of zero emissions, 10 years ahead of the “Net Zero” commitments made at the international level, represents a major challenge for the University, which requires the initiation of immediate and concrete actions in the short term and a multi-year Decarbonisation Plan to reduce CO2 (direct and indirect).

“Over the past few years, as the Network of Universities for Sustainable Development we have been working on an emissions survey protocol for universities that has proven to be an excellent starting point for the construction of our emissions dashboard. On this information base, the University can make informed decisions and develop targeted actions to achieve carbon neutrality and, at the same time, support the difficult path towards climate neutrality of the City of Turin, which is one of the 100 ‘Mission Cities’ in Europe, hence becoming a hub for climate experimentation and innovation.”

“The path we are about to embark on will have an impact on all the technical-administrative structures of the University, which are called upon to collaborate to ensure that all lines of activity in the coming years converge towards the common goal of decarbonisation.”
