Climate and Environment
KIT's Commitment to Climate and Environment
Today, climate and environmental protection is more than just a trend - it is an obligation. We at KIT also see it as our duty and, as a university and research institution, we have a special responsibility for our planet. We create and communicate knowledge for society and the environment. With our research and innovative, practical solutions, we want to make a significant contribution to overcoming the most pressing global challenges in climate and environmental protection. However, protecting our planet requires the collective efforts of all people. That is why we invite you to join us. Only together can we preserve a world worth living in for future generations.
In this section you will find upcoming, ongoing and completed projects related to climate and environment at KIT and how you can become part of our mission. Immerse yourself in our world full of opportunities to make a difference now!
AquaLibre - clean drinking water through membrane technology

Climate Protection: Municipal climate mitigation (KommMa)
The goal of promoting the municipal climate mitigation project "KommMa" is to efficiently and effectively achieve climate protection goals. This will be made possible through targeted advertising, acquisition of municipal facilities, and promotion of a designated position (30%-50%).
Grasping the pictures of eco futures
The project, "Eco-Futures and How We Perceive Their Images," combines art history and science communication to promote discourse on the Anthropocene, focusing on the visual cultures of ecological management. The project includes a lecture series, workshops, and a planned book publication to promote sustainable contributions within and outside expert circles.
