Overall climate objectives for the period 2025-2045: KTH is a leading technical university for climate transition and a climate-neutral society.

Sub-targets for education, research, and collaboration for 2025 - 2030

6.1 KTH is a leading technical university providing education within sustainable development and for a transition to a climate-neutral society.

6.2 KTH continues to be a leading technical university within research for a climate-neutral society. Results from KTH's climate research benefit society on a national and international level and contribute to achieving Sweden's climate targets of net zero emissions and global objectives linked to the Paris Agreement.

6.3 KTH is perceived by its stakeholders as a leading university for climate transition. This continues to be consolidated and developed further. The work is continuous and new objectives are developed during the period.
