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.
Biodiversity on Campus
The Campus Masterplan, which leads to 2030 and beyond, sets a blueprint for the future development of the campus. It commits to managing biodiversity holistically and to ensuring biodiversity on campus is better than before.
Building a sustainable campus
We're continually investing in and developing new campus buildings, and these projects are being developed with a consciousness of the University’s plans to achieve net-zero carbon from direct emissions by 2030.
London air quality monitoring
Researchers have developed state-of-the-art machine learning models that establish real-time connected network of sensors, across London - enabling more effective air quality forecasting and modelling than is currently available.
University of Warwick signs agreement with agronomy specialist to bring UK beans to market
The University of Warwick’s research commercialisation wing, Warwick Innovations, has signed a contract with agronomy specialist Agrii to promote the commercial production of UK haricot beans developed by scientists at the University of Warwick.
Geo-spatial mapping in slums
Many of the world’s poorest people live in slums, over-crowded neighbourhoods often made up of makeshift or derelict housing, without running water or sanitation. Improving health services in slums would have a large impact on health in low and middle income countries.
Our network of Green Champions
With a network of over 1,000 students and 200 staff members from 40 different departments, Green Champions are putting sustainability at the heart of their University of Warwick experience.
Persuading people to buy sustainable goods
Remembering the pride we felt after making environmentally friendly decisions is more likely to motivate us to make green choices in future than guilt, new research suggests.
