UEA has been a pioneer in environmental sciences and climate change research for 55 years.
We recognise our global impact and contribute to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through our work and as a signatory to the SDG Accord. We were one of the first universities to declare a climate and biodiversity emergency in June 2019.
But we also have our own climate ambitions as a university, for our staff and students, and as an institution that plays a key role in our local and regional community.
In this critical decade for climate action the University working with the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research outlined its journey to a net zero UEA in 2020 since which we have been committed to:
An 80% reduction in scopes 1 & 2 carbon emissions by 2030.
Be 100% net zero by 2045 or earlier*
*Against a baseline of 2015 – year of the UN Paris Agreement
Our work
Across our campus, as part of Strategy2030, departments and teams have worked hard to identify the measures needed to deliver on our ambitions. The resulting Environmental Sustainability Thematic Strategy details how we will change; the management of our campus, our work with suppliers, our business travel, recycling plans, energy consumption and biodiversity enhancement, and how we will influence, encourage and facilitate more positive sustainable behaviours in our whole community.
Vital to our net zero journey is the refurbishment of the Lasdun Wall and the exploration of new ways of working as part of our Campus Development Programme.
In 2021 we developed our Climate of Change campaign to engage and inspire activity around tackling the defining issue of our time.
Together as a University, as a leader in climate research and collaborating with our global and local partners we need to ensure we have a workplace and world fit for a dynamic and sustainable future.
