Take advantage of the learning from the Covid-19 pandemic regarding environmental sustainability. Recognise this environmental priority but ensure that the social and economic aspects of sustainability are also given prominence. Outcomes: • A reduction in CO 2 emissions and carbon footprint from activities both in the physical operation of the University campus and the working practices of staff and students. • Academic programmes with sustainability elements embedded. • Graduates entering society with a rounded understanding of the sustainability challenges facing the world and the tools to contribute to solutions.
