The Bartlett has pledged to become a net-zero carbon faculty by the year 2030. This aligns with UCL’s overall commitment to becoming a net-zero institution by the same year.

At The Bartlett, much of our built environment teaching and research focuses on how we can tackle the climate emergency. Our Together for Climate Action campaign in the run-up to COP26 focused our academic expertise on urgent global policy challenges. Our net-zero commitment acknowledges that we too must play our part in reducing global heating.

The Bartlett aims to take a leading role in demonstrating how organisations can play their part. Commitments like this are essential if we are to limit global heating to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. Any higher, and we are likely to face environmental catastrophe. 

We will be running a regular blog to show how we are progressing towards this target. You can also subscribe to our climate action newsletter to get the latest updates from across the faculty. All Bartlett staff and students are invited to get involved. Please fill out this form to let us know if you are interested in any particular areas.
