One of the key outcomes of the international project titled “Accelerating and Enhancing Green Transition: Collaboration of Universities in Climate Adaptation” has been successfully completed: the Comprehensive Action Plan on the Green Transition, which provides practical guidance for higher education institutions and their partners in implementing sustainability measures.

The document was jointly developed by the University of Montenegro, the University of Pécs, the University of Sarajevo, Masaryk University, Jagiellonian University, János Selye University, and the Pannon European Grouping of Territorial Cooperation. The aim of the action plan is to provide a unified strategic framework to strengthen climate adaptation, green infrastructure development, education, and regional cooperation.

The action plan is based on a comprehensive methodology that includes situation analysis, institutional recommendations, and thematic areas for action. Among others, the document defines specific goals and indicators in the fields of waste management, energy efficiency and green infrastructure, sustainable mobility, biodiversity, education and awareness-raising, as well as external partnerships. This helps institutions implement and monitor the green transition in a structured way.

In addition to general guidelines, the document also contains tailored recommendations for each partner institution, broken down into short-, medium-, and long-term steps. These include improving energy efficiency, strengthening sustainable procurement, developing climate-conscious education programs, and expanding local and international collaborations.

For the Pannon EGTC, the development of the joint action plan aligns well with its objective of supporting the region’s green transition and cooperation among higher education institutions through cross-border partnerships and knowledge sharing. The document serves not only as a guide for universities but can also be applied more broadly by municipalities, civil organizations, and other institutions seeking to move toward sustainable operations.

The project is co-financed by the governments of the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia through the Visegrad Grants Program of the International Visegrad Fund. The mission of the fund is to promote ideas for sustainable regional cooperation in Central Europe.
