The University is once again celebrating Sustainability Week – and there are a number of exciting events to mark the occasion.

Sustainability Week takes place from Monday 2 March – Sunday 8 March and is a week of activities and events across all our UK campuses to encourage staff and students to engage with environmental and social issues – empowering them to make positive change.

This year, events will be hosted by the Environment and Social Justice Network and to help in their ambition to make 2020’s week even bigger and better, the Sustainability Team will be putting on a variety of events that everyone can get involved in.

Some highlights include:
