Concept of sustainable development
The Technical university of Sofia strives to follow the concept of sustainable development in all its activities related to teaching, scientific, administrative, social, sporting and other activities, observing the four basic principles of sustainable development
sustainable future
A sustainable future is based on the physical balance between what the Earth produces in materials, energy and ecosystem services and our need to provide the essentials for our survival and that of all other species.
preserving ecosystems
The idea of sustainability ends the long period of human history that accepted the inevitable destruction of ecosystems and harm to other species on Earth and initiates and sustains a new era of flourishing for all species on the planet.
fair reality
A sustainable future is a humane and just socio-political, economic and cultural reality that values all human life and provides resources for all generations today and in the future.
Sustainable economy
A sustainable economy must be fundamentally based on a global circular economy powered by renewable energy.
