Sustainability is a key pillar of our strategy. The UOC's 2022–2025 Strategic Plan includes it as one of its main priorities, giving rise to the 2024–2025 Environmental Sustainability Strategic Plan.
The goals of this plan aim to make the UOC a more sustainable, healthier and environmentally responsible university, and to adopt measures to adapt to and mitigate climate change in order to achieve climate neutrality.
Reducing our carbon footprint
The UOC is steadily reducing its environmental impact. Between 2019 and 2023, we reduced emissions per enrolled credit by 20%.
We went from 2.08 to 1.67 kilograms of CO2 per credit thanks to more efficient resource management. This annual 5% reduction commitment brings us closer to our goal of climate neutrality.

Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and research
El nostre compromís amb la sostenibilitat està alineat amb els objectius de desenvolupament sostenible (ODS) de les Nacions Unides. Integrant aquests objectius en la recerca i en els programes acadèmics, ens assegurem que les nostres iniciatives generen un impacte positiu i tangible.
Contribuïm directament a diversos ODS vinculats a la sostenibilitat ambiental, com ara els següents:
Transformation of our commitment
IAU SDG 3 Cluster on Health and Well-being

The 2021 report of the SDG Accord
