A Green CIVICA Charter for sustainable practices

Students and researchers from CIVICA member universities have joined forces to introduce the Green CIVICA Charter, a collective commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainable practices across CIVICA campuses and beyond.

The Green CIVICA Charter, a result of collaborative efforts from two dozen students and researchers from the alliance's member universities, was developed with the support from the third cohort of CIVICA Ambassadors, the SGH Warsaw School of Economics and the CIVICA Secretariat. The drafting process also incorporated external reviews by both junior and senior scholars and practitioners.

The collaborative drafting of the Charter saw the participation from Bocconi of students Carolina Komel, Sampoorna Chakrabarti, Letizia Sormani, Jacopo Butafarro, Guia Engeler and among the project leads Bianca Da Silva Inocêncio, who is also CIVICA ambassador at Bocconi. In this video Bianca outlines the idea and aims of this initative:

The Green CIVICA Charter is more than just a manifesto; it's a set of pledges that students and researchers vow to uphold, promoting responsible actions to minimize environmental impact. It outlines key pledges for sustainability, including practices such as using reusable containers, adhering to waste management guidelines, and conserving water through mindful faucet use. It extends to eco-friendly habits in cleaning, energy efficiency, resource sharing, and climate control. The Charter also emphasizes responsible electronic waste disposal, device maintenance, and promotes a paperless environment, while encouraging global advocacy and knowledge sharing for innovative energy-saving methods.
