Attendees are asked to identify ways that they can take action to reduce carbon emissions through a ‘pledge’ and become part of the climate change solution.  

The training aligns with the University’s commitment to reach Net Zero carbon emissions by 2040 and its Strategy 2030 commitment to embed the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) across all teaching, operations and research activities.
