Blog
Read blog posts from the Sustainability Team and collaborators.
Our new blog was created in October 2022!
The blog aims to inform and inspire colleagues and students regarding all things sustainability. It will cover a wide variety of subjects related to sustainability and social and environmental justice.
By promoting discussion and action in the University, our target of net zero by 2030 will be all the more achievable.
Please join us in our exploration of sustainability in everyday life, and wider institutional and government action.
