The University is firmly committed to the principles of sustainability and recognises that our activities impact upon the environment through our routine operations, infrastructural development, and our influence on the wider community.

Universities and colleges have a critical role to play in delivering the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and as such many, including University of Warwick, have signed The SDG Accord. This is a commitment learning institutions are making to one another to do more to deliver the goals, to annually report progress. We would like to further our understanding of our current contribution to the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals and ways in which this can be measured.

University of Warwick welcomes a delegation from Universitas Gadjah Mada today.

Last week we had our first ever ECR Sustainability Training School at Warwick! It has been a huge success, thanks to all the support we had received and our participants!

The ECR STS brought together participants from 26 countries, of different age, religion, philosophy, and discipline - embodying the very spirit of future solutions to sustainable development for a more resilient world. The participants enjoyed a great hospitality that only Warwick can offer 😉, including the weather! They also shared their individual research, with in-depth feedback, and learned to work together through team-building skills and group projects. They were exposed to innovative methods, public and policy engagement; and enjoyed their sustainability trails, and engagement with sustainability champions and strategic partner-networks. Team IGSD - well done - you rock!
