The latest report from the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) confirms the importance of sustainability, which is a major focus point at the University of Oslo. UiO has already hired a vice-rector for climate, environment and cross-disciplinarity. This is a very clear signal from our Rectorate, and we, the Deans of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, will contribute and ensure that the Faculty becomes an important contributor. In our election platform, we emphasized sustainability as the basis for everything we do. A sustainability initiative will be a central part of our work.
