Description

CERN is pursuing several initiatives to reduce its impact on the environment through an integrated approach to address all the objectives set by the relevant United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). In particular CERN is committed to respect the net-zero paradigm for future machines and has established a Sustainable Accelerators Panel to harmonize the approach to sustainability of the various studies for future accelerators. In this paper we will describe the efforts taken in managing responsibly our technical installations and the process we are setting up to perform the lifecycle assessment of the different future projects to better understand the main drivers of CO2 emissions in order to minimize them by design.
