Environmental goals for the period 2025-2027

Through education, research, and collaboration, KI aims to contribute to solving environmental and climate challenges, with a focus on human health – while also reducing the negative environmental and climate impact of our own operations.

To concretize this work, environmental goals have been established for the period 2025–2027.
