We're taking climate-focused action to change the way we live, teach and work. Creating a just, sustainable future is at the centre of our mission.

We're in the top 5 greenest universities in the UK and are the highest-ranking arts university in People & Planet’s University League.

As one of the world’s biggest creative institutions, we must continue to play our part in achieving climate justice.
