We are committed to ensuring that nobody should suffer from the effects of poverty. That’s why we’re supporting our students with the cost-of-living crisis, offering safe and warm spaces on campus. This sentiment is built into our Access and Participation Plan which aims to improve equality of opportunity for underrepresented groups to access, succeed in and progress from higher education and avoid poverty.
We’re tackling hunger through a range of community initiatives spanning on and off-campus at LJMU. We’re driving high-tech and sustainable food production through our work with Farm Urban and giving back to the community through contributions to the Fans Supporting Foodbanks initiative. In Southeast Asia, we are working to develop nature-based solutions to promote food security hungry.
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.
LJMU research and facilities help to protect marine life and preserve our oceans for future generations. Locally, we offer state of the art facilities for students to train the next generation of maritime experts. We also work closely with ports and maritime companies to tackle key industry challenges. Internationally, our researchers have used forensic science to curb the illegal trade of marine wildlife and to detect microplastics in seas.
