It’s time to make change possible at UCL.

To change the future, you have to make change possible. Sustainability is at the heart of the way we operate. From our education and our research to our campus and community, we’re committed to defining what’s next and creating new possibilities. And we’re inviting everyone to play their part.

The UCL community is delivering on sector-leading sustainability commitments

In 2019, UCL made ambitious sustainability goals; find out what progress we've been making.

The UCL Climate Hub

At UCL we know that we can’t address the climate emergency with a single idea. That is why the UCL Climate Hub brings together minds, perspectives and expertise across disciplines and communities to foster the innovation needed to face the world’s greatest challenge.

Inclusive Environments: Annual Report

In April 2019, Sustainable UCL employed UCL’s first Access and Inclusion Manager, Pip Jackson to create ‘an accessible, publicly engaged organisation that fosters a lifelong community’ – open and accessible to all. Fiona Ryland, UCL’s Chief Operating Officer has been appointed UCL’s Disability Equality champion. This document gives a snapshot of the successes and challenges of the last 18 months and the focus for 2021.
