Every individual working or studying at the University has a role to play in taking action to reduce their environmental impact. Cambridge is strongest when we work together
- Kevin Couling
In the foreword to the report, Vice-Chancellor Professor Stephen Toope writes: “The University of Cambridge leads the world in many fields of academic endeavour, including making essential contributions to the global journey toward a more sustainable future. In the course of carrying out our research, we should not lose sight of the fact that how we carry out our research, and all of the work that supports it, also has an environmental impact.
“Through our 2015 vision, policy and strategy, we made a commitment to achieve outstanding environmental performance and we are seeing the positive impact of our efforts in some areas; however, we also recognise that we must do more to achieve our aspirations on a range of fronts.”
The report aims to be transparent regarding progress and emphasises the role that every member of the University has in helping the institution achieve its sustainability goals.
