Erasmus Student Network (ESN) One of the objectives of the Erasmus Student Network (ESN) is to contribute to sustainable devel- opment and environmental sustainability through learning mobility and civic engagement. Local ESN associations organise environmental sustainability activities. Green Erasmus is a project coordinated by ESN and other higher education institutions that seeks to improve the environ- mental sustainability of the Erasmus+ programme. Green Erasmus has launched the Green Erasmus survey , co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme. The Green Erasmus Portal provides students with tips and tricks to act sustainably before, during and after their Erasmus experi- ence. As part of the Green Erasmus project, the petition " Increase support for green travel in Erasmus+ " was launched to ask the EU institutions for more funding for sustainable travel. The Green Erasmus research project on the habits of Erasmus students looks at consumption, daily life and travel habits of Erasmus students from the perspective of their environmental attitudes and beliefs.
