Climate action 2020
The University has adopted a Ten-Point Climate Action Plan, focused on delivering carbon neutrality on Scope 1/2 by 2030, and Scope 3 by 2045. The Plan covers work on the University’s estate, digital infrastructure, teaching & learning, research, campus environment, travel strategy, and approaches to offsetting.
Further, researchers across the University are working with governments and NGOs to address climate change impacts.
For example, the Global Disaster Resilience Centre has hosted a meeting of the European Science and Technology Advisory Group (E-STAG) for European Commission’s Joint Research Centre and the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNISDR); and the Centre was also successful in the Newton Prize, for work on tsunami risk, community awareness and preparedness in Indonesia.
