Climate change and sustainability
Securing a healthier, fairer, more sustainable future for all
As a community of staff, students and partners, UCL is using its breadth of talent and expertise to address the climate challenge on multiple fronts, ranging from what we can achieve today, to pioneering future system change, and putting sustainability at the heart of our campus.
““What needs to emerge post-COVID, is a determination on the part of government, business and everyone else that the economic recovery that will follow will build inexorably towards a zero-carbon world rather than away from it.” - Professor Paul Ekins OBE, Professor of Resources and Environmental Policy and Director of UCL Institute for Sustainable Resources
