A NET ZERO UNIVERSITY
Queen's University Belfast has committed to achieving net zero by 2040. This is not a simple journey but it is necessary and urgent. Reaching net zero emissions will require collective effort and support from all our staff, students, and external partners. To achieve this, we must ensure that we integrate climate action into all that we do.
