More than the environment.
Being a truly sustainable university means not only looking after our natural resources and the environment – it means caring for our communities, our culture and our economic resources. At °ÄÃÅ×î¿ì¿ª½±Ö±²¥ we plan on making our university synonymous with sustainability.
Sustainability is more than the environment and it’s more than the work of a single department – it’s in everything we do. Working with the Welsh Government’s Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015, and the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, we are committed to making an impact to the challenges our global community is facing.
