Sustainability at Herts

When you come to Herts, you will be joining the University community that is sustainably conscious and has committed itself to becoming a net zero campus by 2050. Sustainability will be embedded in our courses to provide a more relevant and relatable green education in order to equip you with the tools, knowledge, and mindset to face the challenges presented by the environmental crisis, and to become positive change-makers of the future. Do have a look through your module choices on your courses to find new sustainably focused topics.

Where to start?

There are many ways you can get involved with sustainability outside your studies to help us build a stronger, more engaged community:

You may also like to join the Herts Green Community to explore sustainable actions on campus
You could take part in our Hedgehog Friendly Campus Campaigns
Become a Sustainability Advocate
Participate in large events such as Go Green Week, Sustainability Fair and the Wellbeing Fair

Do follow the Sustainability Team’s accounts on Instagram and Twitter to find out more activities you can get involve. Look at the Hertfordshire Student Union's list of societies to see how other students are coming together to promote sustainability in different ways. There are also opportunities to set up your own society to promote sustainability.
