Tallinn University of Technology is working towards becoming climate-neutral by 2035. We started the green transition with ourselves, as an organization and as individuals. We develop environmentally friendly future technologies and impart green skills and sustainable values to our students.

Initiative: “Sustainability Months”
or “What Everyone Can Do for the Planet – Starting Today”
You could also call it a sustainable academic year:
In the 2025/26 academic year, from September to May, each month will focus on a different sustainability theme. We will bring each topic to life with articles and information, calls to action, events, and entertaining competitions to raise awareness and gently nudge and inspire the university community to adopt more sustainable habits in their daily lives.
WHEN: Academic year 2025/26, from September to May
WHAT: Each month features one sustainability topic, highlighted through articles, information, calls to action, events, and fun competitions
WHY: A university cannot become more climate-neutral or sustainable unless its thousands of people do – because the university is its people. Dedicating a whole month to one topic helps ensure that people internalize the idea of the campaign and continue acting sustainably even afterward.
MAIN MESSAGE: Be sensible!
CORE PRINCIPLE: We do not ban, force, or oppose – we offer opportunities and do things together.
EXPECTED RESULTS: Changes in people’s daily behavior. For example: reduced use of personal cars, lower meat consumption, more energy-efficient use of buildings, avoiding excessive packaging, better health behavior, more conscious consumption, etc.
WE INVOLVE all departments, researchers and students from relevant disciplines, alumni, student organizations, and – through external communication and media – society at large.
CORE TEAM: Mari Öö Sarv, Kätlin Sonk, Henri Suomalainen, Kristin Rammus
