Our goal: University Carbon Neutrality by 2030

A clean, green, innovative research campus that is a 'living laboratory', showing people, organisations and even countries that a carbon neutral future is possible.

Imagine
  • using less energy
  • innovation all around you
  • renewable energy generated at every opportunity
  • smart microgrids to manage and demonstrate the flow of energy
  • clean air
  • trees, plants and vast biodiversity everywhere
  • people, who are living and learning sustainably
  • Minimal waste
  • slowing and maybe even reversing global warming with everything you do
Imagine what it would be like to work and study at a net zero carbon university in 2030 or earlier.

Imagine what it could be like... and be part of the solution.

Come and join us.
“Universities, in the UK and globally, are crucial to effecting a rapid transition to a global low carbon economy.”

“Climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing the world. Universities and colleges have a big role to play in tackling it. Our researchers are not only investigating the potential impact of climate change, they are working with industry and the public sector to develop innovative solutions to the challenges it creates. Our students and graduates are shaping and leading the debate and the responses to it at every level of society. As a sector, we can be leaders in our response at all levels. Together, we can – and must – meet the carbon challenge.”
