Jönköping University participates in Climate Week
This year's Climate Week (Klimatveckan) will be held between 14-20 October throughout Jönköping County. The theme of this year's week is “Climate smart and robust - a sustainable future together.” Jönköping University (JU) is contributing by organizing two events, one on cars, electrification and sustainable manufacturing, and the other on success factors for climate collaboration to work.
The Climate Week in Jönköping County is organized by the Climate Council to contribute to the county's common vision of Climate Smart Plus Energy County 2045. Eva Gipperth, University Director at JU, is JU's member of the Climate Council.
“Jönköping University wants to be a good force in the region and contribute to robust and sustainable climate work. For us, the collaboration and exchange of ideas in the Climate Council is an important source of inspiration and we take the opportunity to be involved in making the county's sustainability work visible during Climate Week,” says Eva Gipperth.
