            Responsible energy management plays a key role in sustainable development as it touches up

            of areas. From an environmental perspective, transitioning to sustainable energy sources s
            reduces greenhouse gas emissions. From a social and economic standpoint, it ensures indepe
            fossil fuels and geopolitical factors, ultimately supporting energy security and reducing 

            poverty.

            In line with the definition of sustainable development, sustainable energy meets the needs

            without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.


            For this reason, Charles University has committed to responsible energy management and aim
            carbon neutrality by 2050.
            The first steps include mapping out the current energy management system, compiling a comp

            on energy audits across the university, and assessing the situation with recommendations f
            actions.


            To track greenhouse gas emissions, the university is calculating its carbon footprint for 
            levels of Scope 1 and Scope 2 (expressed in CO2 equivalents). The calculation of indirect 
            will follow, although defining and monitoring this component is more complex.


            Through these efforts, Charles University is working towards carbon neutrality and aims to
            best practices on the journey to a sustainable future.
