Case Studies
Sustainability at Warwick
From cutting-edge research to community engagement and green campus initiatives, at University of Warwick, we’re on a journey to becoming a more sustainable university.
Take a look at our sustainability case studies, encompassing our projects in Research, Education, Engagement and Operations, to learn more about how we're tackling climate change problems, both internally and with our external partners.
Our Energy Strategy
Our Energy Strategy is based on three principles: Reduce, Decarbonise, Smart. We have case studies available for each, which can be found below:
