What does a sustainable University look like to you?
Since launching our first Sustainability Strategy in 2020, we’ve made progress in reducing our environmental impact, embedding sustainability in education and research, and building a more climate resilient campus. Now, as we look ahead, we’re designing the next Environmental Sustainability Strategic Plan, and this is where we need your contribution.
This new plan will guide how we tackle sustainability challenges over the next decade, and will be supported by two roadmaps to keep momentum, focus efforts and guide implementation. Using insights from the independent review of the current strategy, the latest climate and environmental assessments, and contributions and collaborations across our institution will ensure the new strategy is ambitious and practical. But to make sure it reflects what matters most to you, we need your insights.

Take a 10-minute anonymous survey by 15 April and go in the draw to win one of two sustainable prize packs.
Join a Sustainability Strategy Feedback Session in March or April to learn about our progress and help shape the strategy in real time.
Whether you’re passionate about climate action, biodiversity, embedding circular economy practices, or you want to see more opportunities to participate in sustainable initiatives on campus, this is your chance to make an impact.
