Austria have a long history of putting sustainable development issues into practice whereas Czech Republic has not met many of the stated priorities yet. [7] [8]. In order to make the smallest (and more easily applicable) steps first, we will concentrate on greening the university before focusing on the energy issues most related to carbon neutrality (heating, electricity). | ||
The typical university in the Czech Republic is much more dependent on fossil fuels than the Austrian one. As far as the heating and electricity is concerned, Austria is well-known for its long and positive approach to sustainable development concept and renewable sources of energy. However, we would still like to bet he first ´Green University´ in our country and that way set the path for other Czech high education institutions, our project should therefore be first aimed at greening the university by various ´simple´ steps. Possible solutions to addressed problems (or other challenges) will be discussed in the third part of this analysis. | The typical university in the Czech Republic is much more dependent on fossil fuels than the Austrian one.
