Sustainability in the Greater Bern Region

Bern’s higher education landscape is closely interlinked with the city and canton of Bern. How we get around, what we consume, how we live—our behavior and decisions have an impact on the world around us. Students4Sustainability helps to strengthen the connection between various stakeholders inside and outside of higher education institutions.

Vademecum: Out and about sustainably in Bern

What does it take to lead a happy and fulfilling (student) life? This short publication follows a sufficiency approach, prioritising the wealth of time and space over the wealth of goods and money. Specific sections (travel, at home, eating & drinking, conscious consumption, culture and events) present facts, ideas and advice. Bern is home to a vast array of innovative stores, restaurants, organisations and associations that have chosen to promote a sustainable lifestyle. Self-experimenting stimulates creativity and invites you to try out something that may be unfamiliar, to develop new habits and to integrate them into your life.
