This presentation:
Briefly discusses the role of higher education as both a cause and a solution to our multiple sustainability crises;
Explores the changing expectations of current and future students as they confront the reality of the climate and ecological emergencies.
Describe UWE’s sustainability journey from the mid-1990s until the present day exploring the progressive inclusion of sustainability considerations in the curriculum, research, campus operations, partnerships and student and staff engagement.
Conclude with a description of UWE approach to managing its carbon emissions.
Throughout please note that sustainability is a culture change process and is a team game.
We don’t have all the answers but through conferences like this we learn from others’ experiences and in return we are happy to share our story.
