In this period of unprecedented environmental change, the need to take urgent, meaningful climate action is undeniable. The UK Research and Innovation sector, leaders in informing climate science, is well placed to lead the way in making R&I itself environmentally sustainable.
As a world-leading STEMB university, Imperial aims to be at the forefront of this change. We are committed to creating sustainable environments for learning, teaching, researching and working and becoming a net-zero institution by 2040, and we were one of the first signatories of the Concordat for the Environmental Sustainability of Research and Innovation Practice. Our sustainability strategy underpins the university-wide work we are doing on this, with much of it being complemented by action taken at faculty and department level.
