Climate Plan
Climate change is one of the defining challenges of our time, and universities have a vital role to play in driving meaningful action.
Our Climate Plan sets out how we will reduce our environmental impact, support the transition to a low-carbon future, and contribute to global efforts to address the climate crisis. Developed through collaboration between students, staff, academics and professional services colleagues, the plan reflects a shared commitment across our University community.
Together, we are turning ambition into action, creating a more sustainable future and progressing towards our goal of becoming a net zero university.
