The Universidad Católica de Temuco commits to a more sustainable Chile

UC Temuco is one of the 22 universities signing an historical Agreement
Twenty-two of the most important universities of Chile, the Universidad Católica de Temuco (UC Temuco) among them, have signed an agreement to promote sustainability in the country. The "Acuerdo de Producción Limpia" (Agreement on Clean Production) has been penned with the Consejo Nacional de Producción Limpia (CPL), institution that depends on the Chilean Ministry of Economy.

The Agreement will reduce by 5% the consumption of energy and water, will measure the carbon footprint of every institution and will give professional training based on sustainability values, amongst other details. Furthermore, all institutions will work on waste reduction.
UC Temuco thinks universities have a social responsibility that includes taking care of the environment, train future professionals on that field, and train students on waste management.
