LJMU is working to promote sustainable, and equitable, economic growth. Through our work with businesses across the region, we’re supporting innovation to create low carbon goods, processes and services with international reach. On campus, our Accounting, Business and Law Clinics are providing students with valuable work experience while supporting the productivity of the wider community.
LJMU plays an important role in supporting the sustainability of the Liverpool City Region. We’ve worked hard to champion green and sustainable travel through the Smart Green Journey app and our Sustainable Green Travel Corridors initiative. Collaborations with industry has also seen the development of cutting-edge road surfaces. We’re stiving to achieve net zero by 2035, in line with the United Nations goal to reduce warming by 1.5°C.
At LJMU we’re changing the way we consume and produce goods to ensure an increased focus on sustainability. The concept of sustainability has influenced our curriculum, with students having the opportunity to learn about sustainable production in existing modules. Our research and knowledge exchange efforts have also helped to revolutionise material production as far afield as Bangladesh and the Philippines.
We’re committed to protecting our environment and supporting a sustainable future for our students and the global community. On campus, we launched the UK’s first undergraduate degree on climate change and have revamped our buildings to reduce carbon emissions. Globally, used ground-breaking research to tackle peat fires in Indonesia and we’ve delivered flood resilience workshops in Cumbria.
Our vision is to be recognised as a modern civic university, delivering solutions to the challenges of the 21st century. Read more about our mission, strategy and plans for the future, including our Strategic Plan, Strategy Map, and Learning, Teaching and Assessment Strategy.
