Introduction

This document sets out our ambitions, principles, and commitments as well as referencing the key supporting documents that work to enable the University to address the climate crisis.

It outlines how we are going to move forward in developing our pathway to net zero, and how we will use climate adaptation to respond to the risk climate change poses. Creating a low carbon future and achieving net zero cannot be achieved overnight, it will be a transition. This transition needs to be achieved at pace but more importantly it must be inclusive and fair. We have set out how we will support the entire university community in increasing our collective understanding of climate change, and how we will focus our research expertise to address one of the most important issues which currently faces society.
