Sustainable Liverpool

This is our sustainability blog. Here, we provide regular updates on what we are doing to make the University more sustainable. 

Here you can find the latest updates from the Sustainability team, research, event highlights, and details of projects and campaigns. In addition to this, we’ll share articles on topics from climate action, innovation and gender equality to tips on well-being and sustainable living. We also share information on how you can contribute to sustainable research and work to improve social, cultural and environmental best practices across our campuses.

We want the blog to celebrate the ingenuity of our staff, students and partners. So, if you would like to contribute to the newsletter, please share your sustainability news, events or activities with sustainability@liverpool.ac.uk or complete the online form.

If you’re looking to get involved with sustainability projects, you can find all of our projects and activities in the get involved section

We all have the power to make a positive difference, no matter how small the action.
