University Observatory of transitions

According to the Law Regulating Universities (LOSU), both public and private universities must guarantee the public service of university education, as well as develop their functions and take as their reference points, among others, the fight against climate change and the values derived from the Sustainable Development Goals. In the current context of multiple crises, the university needs an Observatory to monitor the university’s performance in the design, development, implementation and transfer of eco-social transition plans to achieve sustainability. One of the tools to be developed by this Observatory is a system of objective indicators focused on obtaining a rating of the university’s performance in applying eco-social transition criteria. An exponential trajectory of efforts between 2024 and 2030 has a lower slope at the beginning of the process, which can facilitate the structural changes that the university must undertake to meet eco-social criteria. Over time, the slope increases, so that changes and improvements, made possible by those efforts, must be accelerated more rapidly in the years closer to 2030. The exponential trajectory of efforts translates into the size of the intervals for rating university performance in the application of eco-social criteria. Download
