Because you're going to protect the earth with a little twist.
For the fourth year, a second-hand mobile phone collection campaign named "Pass it back, Bro!" was launched by the Jane Goodall Institute and joined by the UP in the framework of the Baranya Virtual Power Plant Program (BAVEP partners: University of Pécs, Hungarian Innovation and Efficiency Nonprofit Ltd., Municipality of Pécs County, Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Pécs-Baranya, Baranya County Municipality, Diocese of Pécs, Klára Leőwey High School of Pécs).
MOON BIKE 2021
From 15 May, the University of Pécs will once again launch its international cycling challenge to promote a healthy lifestyle.
The challenge of "MOON BIKE" is to ride a bicycle together to the moon, i.e. to reach a total of 384,400 km anywhere in the world.
This year as well we would like to celebrate Earth Day with the citizens of the UP in accordance with our tradition but in an unusual way. However, the world has come to the point where Earth Day is not only a day to celebrate, but also a day to do something to protect the air, water, plants, birds, and animals.
Earth Day has now become the largest self-organized environmental movement in Hungary.
It is an action-oriented holiday that is about the future of all of us.
The existence and quality of life of future generations depends largely on our ability to transform our thinking about the world, our environment and our lives. Are we willing not to exploit our natural resources by changing our habits, but to protect our environment, protect biodiversity, i.e. live in a sustainable way? The University of Pécs is at the forefront of this mission in Hungary and thanks to its work with its partners Pécs won the title of greenest city in Hungary in 2020!
On the occasion of World Water Day, the Eco-City-Ecoregion Foundation is launching a photo contest. The theme is Pécs and its wet places. Send your favorite photo from Pécs: "WATER AS I see it" and win!
You can also find the call on facebook link as follows:"VÍZ, ahogy Én látom..." fotópályázat - Ökováros-Ökorégió Alapítvány
Prizes: eco-gift packages (bicycle basket, bicycle lock, unpacked shopping supplies).
Deadline for submission: 19 April 2021
We kindly invite you for an online climate protection conference on March 31, 2021, organised by University of Pécs. Our goal is to present the Green AURA initiative, which promotes the development of environmentally conscious local communities. As first step, we will present for the citizens the climate-friendly developments available at Pécs and Kapronca (Croatia) by augmented reality supported exhibitions.
European Citizens' Initiative:
They are coming together from all over the EU to call for a bee-friendly agriculture that is good for farmers, our health and the environment.
With this European citizens' initiative, the European Commission is being called upon to support an agricultural model that allows farmers and nature to live in harmony.
