The Energy and Sustainability Team is your partner in making a positive impact on the environment. Our team draws on the expertise of our students, colleagues, and the wider community to find solutions to environmental challenges, and to foster a culture of responsibility and sustainability.

We're dedicated to raising awareness and reducing our carbon emissions and overall environmental impact. Sustainability at Warwick is underpinned by our Way to Sustainable Strategy and Energy Strategy.

From the energy we use to how we travel, what we consume and how we manage waste, every choice matters. Find out how you can make a positive change below.

Be more Energy Friendly

Want to become more energy-efficient?

Follow these simple steps to change your daily routine, save energy and reduce your carbon emissions:

Turn off the lights and appliances if you’re the last one to leave the room

Only boil as much water as you need

Try shortening your showers - Cutting a minute from your shower saves about 8-13 litres of water which in a year is an equivalent to roughly 25 full bathtubs.
