BOKU is a pioneer among sustainable universities and a driving force behind groundbreaking research in environmental and climate protection. In the podcast PLANET SHAPERS, we team up with BOKU researchers to present innovative answers to pressing questions – from alternative tourism concepts and sustainable consumption to smart mobility.
Climate protection is no longer an isolated topic but a fundamental dimension across all areas of our lives. The key question is: How relevant is a topic to the climate?
PLANET SHAPERS delivers answers.
We analyse current climate questions, introduce climate protection-relevant research projects, and showcase solutions that are already being successfully implemented – true to our motto:
Facts. Research. Ready-made solutions.
