Description
Nikhef is the national high-energy physics laboratory in the Netherlands. As an institute, Nikhef intends to be climate neutral by 2035. The ‘Sustainable Nikhef Roadmap’ details how the institute intends to achieve this ambition along the five lines of travel, energy for the building, waste, behaviour and environmental impact of research. A carbon footprint study shows that a number of important steps have already been taken. For example, Nikhef employees now fly less compared to before COVID. And other sources of CO2 emissions have also started to decline. There is however still some work to do to reach the target. In this presentation we'll outline the status and the next steps.
