The declared goal of the United Nations is: Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts

Specifically, by 2030...
...strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity to climate-related hazards and natural disasters in all countries.
...integrate climate change measures into national policies, strategies and planning.
...improve education, awareness-raising and human and institutional capacity on climate change mitigation, adaptation, impact reduction and early warning.

This is why the university plays a significant role in researching renewable energies and their cost-effective use.
