The University’s first Climate Strategy, ‘Zero by 2040’, was published in 2016, and has resulted in many successes to date.
However, as the various environmental crises deepen, the University recognises the need for a step-change in effort and urgency and is preparing to update its climate strategy in 2024.
Over the last seven months, 80 academic and professional services colleagues from across the University have worked together to identify potential deliverable actions commensurate to the size of the external challenges we face.
Staff are now invited to view these proposals and share their views on them in a consultation.
