University of Salzburg researchers on a 3-year project to develop practical solutions for a sustainable future University of Salzburg researchers on a 3-year project to develop practical solutions for a sustainable future ================================================================================================================ CIVIS Highlights 16 januari 2025 The University of Salzburg has launched a cooperation with the International Green 2030 Foundation to increase scientific research into the consequences of climate change. The Foundation will grant 3 million euros, half of which has already been invested in specific projects. The aim is to develop scientific findings and transfer them directly into practice. ![](/storage/files/picture.png) © Jan C. Habel / University of Salzburg The consequences of climate change cannot be ignored any more. Extreme weather events such as heatwaves, floods and landslides are increasing in frequency and intensity. The rapidly rising temperatures are putting strain on organisms and entire ecosystems, which are increasingly disrupting natural environmental processes. These developments not only challenge science, but also affect us all directly. Three central research focuses ------------------------------ Over the next three years, the scientists will conduct research on three essential areas: - Biodiversity and ecosystem functions: How does climate change affect biodiversity and the functionality of ecosystems? - Cryosphere and water resources: What effects does melting glaciers and permafrost have on water quality and availability? - CO2 storage through vegetation succession: How can changes in vegetation contribute to increasing carbon storage? The Alpine region is particularly affected by climate change effects and will be the focus of future research and teaching. [The Foundation](https://2030green.at/climate-change-en/) and University of Salzburg emphasise linking theory and practise. The research results should not be confined to the realm of the scientific community, but should be translated into practical measures to strengthen resilience against the impacts of climate change, thus making the university a key player in the development of solutions for a sustainable future. **More details are available in the [original announcement](https://www.plus.ac.at/news/forschung-fuer-die-zukunft-klimawandel-im-fokus-der-universitaet-salzburg/?pg=132948&is_pressemeldungen=1&is_paged=1), from University of Salzburg.** ### Latest highlights: [*Impressive Haul of Meteorites, brought back by Belgian-led team of researchers from Antarctic research expedition*](https://civis.eu/en/get-informed/news/impressive-haul-of-meteorites-brought-back-by-belgian-led-team-of-researchers) [*Sustainability, diversity and safety efforts not awarded with bonuses, UT study reveals*](https://civis.eu/en/get-informed/news/sustainability-diversity-efforts-not-awarded-with-bonuses-ut-study-reveals) [*Romanian researchers discover a “graveyard of mammoths” in the Buzău Valley*](https://civis.eu/en/get-informed/news/romanian-researchers-discover-graveyard-mammoths-Buzau-valley) [*Stockholm Prize in Criminology awarded to practitioners working to reduce cruel and unusual punishment*](https://civis.eu/en/get-informed/news/stockholm-prize-criminology-awarded-practitioners-reduce-cruel-and-unusual-punishment) Related news ------------ - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/martin-knoll1-800x600.jpg?token=2dd28f1c93ba3eaf2cd32b2380fdc009)Martin Knoll: a 'civizen' working to build bridges between science and society People 26 april 2026 ](https://civis.eu/sv/the-civis-newsroom/martin-knoll-a-civizen-working-to-build-bridges-between-science-and-society) - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/euko-at-bild-800x600.jpg?token=8b0e68266375a76c6818dc87522df43f)How young people in Austria use AI CIVIS Highlights 23 februari 2026 ](https://civis.eu/sv/the-civis-newsroom/how-young-people-in-austria-use-ai) - [ ![](https://civis.eu/storage/files/internationalisation-800x600.png?token=e1b39583bd55dd3a1eea12a2c04d207d)University of Salzburg wins Internationalisation Award for Staff Mobility and Development CIVIS Highlights 17 december 2025 ](https://civis.eu/sv/the-civis-newsroom/university-of-salzburg-wins-internationalisation-award-for-staff-mobility-and-development) [Upptäck alla våra berättelser](https://civis.eu/sv/the-civis-newsroom) [ Innovative University Diploma in Intercultural Management launched by amU and Marseille au Pluriel ](< https://civis.eu/sv/the-civis-newsroom/innovative-university-diploma-intercultural-management-launched-amu-and-marseille-au-pluriel >) [ Impressive haul of meteorites brought back by Belgian-led team that includes ULB researchers ](< https://civis.eu/sv/the-civis-newsroom/impressive-haul-of-meteorites-brought-back-by-belgian-led-team-of-researchers >) ![CIVIS – Europe’s Civic University Alliance](https://civis.eu/build/assets/civis-CCpvK1nT.svg) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Europe’s Civic University Alliance ![Co-funded by the European Union](https://civis.eu/build/assets/co-funded-by-the-european-union-DSKLW1us.png)Views and opinions expressed do not necessarily reflect those of the European Union or the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA).
