SDG 13 - Climate action
We are on the brink of climate calamity. Climate change poses a serious threat to the world’s growing population, with sea-level rise doubling in the last decade and communities already suffering from extreme weather. Through education, innovation, cooperation, and commitment, immediate action is essential to protect our planet's future.
We’re committed to protecting our environment and supporting a sustainable future for the global community. That's why we launched the UK’s first undergraduate degree on climate change and have adapted our buildings to reduce carbon emissions. On a national and international scale, our ground-breaking research is tackling coastal pollution in England and Wales and peat fires in Indonesia.
