At the Dies Academicus 2024, the GIUZ Air Miles Group was honoured with the UZH Team Effort Award 2023 for its pioneering role in reducing flight-related emissions at the University of Zurich. Congratulations!
With the Team Effort Award, the University of Zurich honours the Air Miles Group of the Department of Geography (GIUZ) for its pioneering role in reducing flight-related emissions at UZH. Air travel accounts for a large proportion of UZH's greenhouse gas emissions. Since 2017, countless hours of voluntary work have been spent at the GIUZ collecting, analysing and publishing the flight data of employees and guests on an annual basis. In 2020, the Air Miles Group used this data to set reduction targets for the GIUZ and developed strategies to achieve them, as well as an advisory service for members of the department. The Air Miles Group thus raised awareness of an issue that is also very important from a university-wide perspective.
