SDG 13 - Climate action
Climate change is an undeniable threat to the world’s growing population with many harmful effects already realised and visible. Through education and innovation, cooperation and commitment, the necessary changes can be made to protect the future of our planet.
We’re committed to protecting our environment and supporting a sustainable future for our students and the global community. On campus, we launched the UK’s first undergraduate degree on climate change and have revamped our buildings to reduce carbon emissions. Globally, we've used ground-breaking research to tackle peat fires in Indonesia and we’ve delivered flood resilience workshops in Cumbria.
