Induction
Welcome new students at the University of Warwick!
We’re excited to work with you across research, education, operations, and community action to build a greener, more sustainable future on campus and beyond.

Biodiversity and Ecology
Our goal is to enhance campus biodiversity, targeting a minimum 10% net gain compared with pre-development. Join our regular events to help us achieve this goal:
- Warwick Wombles Litter Picks
- Species Surveys
- Biodiversity Walks
- citizen science using iNaturalist
Circular Economy
Our primary goal is to reduce the total volume of waste produced, and, where that’s not possible, reuse and recycle. Participate in our projects and learn more about the importance of recycling:
Energy and Water
Our Energy Strategy is based on three principles: Reduce, Decarbonise, Smart. Warwick has a long history of leading the way in innovative, efficient energy systems. We are now evolving our infrastructure to move away from fossil fuels towards renewable energy sources, whilst working hard to reduce our energy demand on campus. Our Energy and Carbon Report details our progress. Learn more about energy and water usage on campus:
Transport & Mobility
Our campus is a living lab, so we can test out new mobility ideas, approaches and technologies that will help to address the climate emergency.
By getting involved and trying out new modes of transport, you'll be helping to inform research and innovation, as well as contributing towards realising a better world for future generations.
