SDG Ambassador

SDG Ambassador

The project brings the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into everyday life at TU Braunschweig – visibly, accessibly, and inspiringly. Personal perspectives make sustainability tangible and firmly anchor it in university culture.

Who becomes an SDG ambassador?

Each year, a maximum of four people are selected to represent the SDGs in different ways. We make sure that different areas of the university are represented: research and teaching, student body, administration or technology, and initiatives. The ambassadors will be introduced throughout the year—about one person per quarter. If you would like to become part of the program and share your perspective as an SDG ambassador, please contact us by email.

Thematic SDG Years

Each year is dedicated to one of four core SDG areas:

  • People – Preserving human dignity (SDGs 1–6)
  • Prosperity – Promoting prosperity for all (SDGs 7–10)
  • Planet – Protecting the planet (SDGs 11–15)
  • Peace & Partnership – Strengthening peace and partnership (SDGs 16–17)

The theme year “Planet” will take place in 2026 and will focus on SDGs 11 to 15, which center on protecting our planet.

How are the ambassadors presented?

The ambassadors are presented in various ways:

  • On the homepage: Each ambassador is given a portrait photo with a short introduction.
  • In reels: Short videos (30–45 seconds) show the ambassadors' personal motivation and, optionally, provide insights into their everyday work or study life, projects, or places related to the SDGs.
  • In the podcast: An approximately 20-minute episode is recorded for each ambassador, moderated by two Green Office employees.
  • In the SDG seminar: A contribution by the ambassadors is planned as part of a seminar in the summer semester of 2026, for example in the form of reflections, analyses, or presentations of the format.

A look back at our program

The SDG Ambassador Program has been running at the Green Office since 2022. In the first two rounds, we collected many exciting stories from research, teaching, administration, and student projects—at that time still in a slightly different format. You can find more information here:
