The University’s annual Green Impact initiative 2021-22 has now been launched and if COP26 has fired your enthusiasm to support Sustainability this could be an ideal chance to make a difference. Your Teams can get help with their sustainability projects from a paid student and they can assist in coming up with ideas for suitable projects and delivering them for your department.
Green Impact is a change and engagement programme that aims to help staff to understand sustainability and social responsibility and give them ideas of what they can do to make a difference, as well as supporting them in achieving these actions. It also gives staff & students an opportunity to showcase their work at a national level. Read here about how one GI Team won a national sustainability award recognising its work to educate staff, students and the wider community about the climate emergency.
