Become net-zero carbon
We will adopt a challenging carbon reduction pathway and reach net-zero carbon emissions across all of our activities as soon as possible and no later than 2050.
Work towards a ‘Zero Impacts’ campus
We will thrive to be a hub of environmental good practice in the higher education sector, actively minimising all the environmental impacts of our estate and operations.
Build a sustainable LSE collaboratively
We will progress the sustainability agenda in close collaboration with the LSE community, and other institutions in the higher education sector and beyond.
Examples of supporting initiatives:
-
Set new challenging carbon reduction targets based on climate science.
-
As an interim measure, fund carbon reduction projects to mitigate the emissions we cannot immediately reduce.
-
Continue investing in energy efficiency measures, to make our existing building stock as efficient as possible.
-
Conduct sustainability impact assessments as part of LSE’s decision-making process.
-
Offer opportunities for staff and students to get further involved (e.g. Green Impact, Sustainable Projects Fund).
-
Actively benchmark our performance against peers.
-
Our approaches to Technology and Procurement will embrace sustainability principles.
-
Promote the work of the Sustainability Team and provide clear ways for others to engage and support:
o Make information and data on our environmental work and performance openly available.
o Host interactive sustainability events on a regular basis open to all staff and students.
o Strengthen collaborations with student bodies including the Students' Union and student societies.
