Calling all students with an interest in sustainability and our path to net zero

We are in the top ten of the People and Planet University League, and play a crucial sustainable development role in the region, the UK and globally.

Our Sustainability and Climate Emergency Strategy (2021-2025) - aligned with the University's Strategic Vision and Purpose - sets out how we operationalise our Sustainability Policy, and commits us to actions across four key themes: The Climate Emergency, Our Natural Environment, Our Working Environment and Our Travel.

We also contribute to other key sustainable development goals: Wellbeing and Human Health, Wellbeing of Future Generations and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, working collaboratively with our research community to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all.
