  1. SDG 14 - Life below water

    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.

    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.

  5. SDG 12 - Responsible consumption and production

    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.

  6. SDG 7 - Affordable and clean energy

    We are making strides to investigate affordable and clean energy solutions, and this is reflected across our teaching, research and knowledge exchange activities. We have forged partnerships with industry to test and develop new technologies such as biogas production, we are exploring green technologies through our exemplar houses, and we are working in Japan and Malaysia to ensure electric vehicles (EVs) remain low-carbon cars.
