# Art University Linz Canonical URL: [Art University Linz](https://plantbaseduniversities.org/art-university-linz) Campaign last updated: 2026-10-22T09:17:07.850Z City: Linz ## FEED THE FUTURE, NOT THE CRISIS @KunstuniLinz \! Want to become a changemaker at our university? -\> join the movement to make Kunstuni Linz’s food system 100% plant-based Signatures displayed: 156. Current signature goal: 500. Counts can change. ## What is the problem? ### Summers are getting hotter, we are not able to deny the change happening anymore Past summer(2026) has shown clearly again that climate change is something affecting us all (even in austria eg. agriculture). Unfortunately it is not the people who contribute most to the crisis (richest 10% of the world) who get to suffer under the effects. We as students see it more pressing than ever to slow down this crisis and start acting now\! Food systems are responsible for around a third of all global greenhouse gas emissions, and animal products are the dominant driver. Meat and dairy alone generate more emissions than all the world's planes, ships, and cars combined. ## What can we do? ### We want institutional change\! We want to follow the example of the 31 universities in Europe and 3 in Austria (CEU, BOKU, University of Graz) that have already committed to 100% plant-based catering. At the same time, we are aligning with the University of Art and Design Linz’s goal from its 2025–30 Development Plan to reduce the university’s emissions by 90% by 2035. Every plate is a decision Art University Linz makes and can change. Going 100% plant-based is one of the most visible, controllable ways to actually deliver on that promise. ## Is that even possible? University of Graz went fully plant-based. Edinburgh hit 70% — and University of Art and Design Linz can be next\! We have the support of the student union, we never had anyone question our ask at Outreach- everybody is concious on the connection of climate and food system- we are so close...so let´s do this TOGETHER \<3 ## Get involved and follow updates [Visit the campaign page](https://plantbaseduniversities.org/art-university-linz) to join the team or sign the petition, and read the latest campaign timeline.
