Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
We are passionate about promoting a culture and scholarship of environmental stewardship, living in harmony, and caring for the world in ways that meet our economic, social, environmental, and cultural needs. Underpinned by our world-renowned research, we will support the development of Wales as a bilingual learning country with a knowledge driven economy for the benefit of the world and future generations.

More than the environment.
Being a truly sustainable university means not only looking after our natural resources and the environment – it means caring for our communities, our culture and our economic resources. We have a long history of collaborating with our community to raise aspirations, improve quality of life, and tackle some of society's biggest challenges, from health and climate change to the Welsh language, housing, poverty, and an ageing population, By sharing knowledge through social and public engagement, and building strong partnerships, we contribute to the well-being of our region.
Sustainability is more than the environment and it’s more than the work of a single department – it’s in everything we do. Working with the Welsh Government’s Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015, and the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, we are committed to making an impact to the challenges our global community is facing.
Sustainability at Bangor
From our undergraduate modules to our research project, everything we do is being mapped onto the 17 UN Sustainability Goals and using the principles of the Welsh Government’s Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015.
