25 by 25 - Your Voice Event - February 2023

Following the launch of the 25 by 25 sustainability campaign, colleagues were invited to submit ideas and initiatives about how the University could reduce its carbon.

40 proposals were assessed by a panel of experts and presented at an informal lunch with the Vice-Chancellor, Professor Edmund Burke.

Among the successful proposals to receive University funding is a pilot trial of the latest space sensor technology which aims to better understand real-time usage as well as atmospheric conditions and use of energy; a Business School research project to investigate whether the University should switch to a carbon-negative browser (instead of Google); fully secured bicycle storage on campus; discounts on hot drinks when students/colleagues use their own mugs; and to compliment this initiative funding has been given for 25 by 25 eco-friendly reusable travel mugs.

New Sustainability campaign launched: 25 by 25 - November 2022

On the 3rd of November 2022 the University launched a new sustainability campaign for staff and students.

The '25 by 25’ campaign aims to reduce 25% of emissions by 2025. To achieve this the University will examine how it uses all types of power and fuel, the waste we throw away, the water we use and just about anything and everything that creates a greenhouse gas emission.

25 by 25…Your voice

25 by 25 kicked off its activities with an open invitation to all colleagues and students to offer their ideas on how to support this campaign, with ideas, thoughts and initiatives on how the University can reduce carbon footprint within our key target areas of Energy, Waste and Travel.

The ‘25 by 25’ logo appeared across our campus in the form of ‘clean graffiti’ which hopefully piqued interest in the campaign!
