Why Strathclyde? Sustainable Strathclyde

We are Sustainable Strathclyde

We're the University's driving force on sustainability and carbon reduction.

We support the University in its aims to become Net-Zero for carbon emissions by 2040, and to build a greener and more climate-resilient campus.

From every light that's turned on, to every journey taken in a University vehicle, we monitor the carbon impact and look for ways to make it more eco-friendly.

We also work with staff and students to promote active travel and sustainable waste management, and to increase awareness of climate change.

Strathclyde’s Active Mobility Hub take inspiration from UCI Cycling World Championships

For the last year, the University’s Active Mobility Hub has been applying knowledge exchange, community action and academic research to understand more about the power of the bike.

Climate change & social responsibility

The University’s Climate Change and Social Responsibility Plan has four key aims. These detail the steps Strathclyde will take to reach Net Zero emissions by 2040:

  • tackle climate change, ensure resilience and reduce resource use
  • be socially responsible
  • collaborate with others and embed sustainability across the institution
  • share learning and knowledge to help ensure continuous improvement

Climate Neutral Districts

As part of the development of Glasgow City Innovation District, the University of Strathclyde is leading an ambitious project to create a 100% renewable climate neutral and climate resilient area within the district. The project aims to integrate heat, power, transport, climate adaptation and wellbeing solutions that will benefit everyone in the area of the Innovation District.
