23.01.2022 In 2020, over 1200 current University staff and students completed the survey and 1078 individual suggestions were made about how the University can improve engagement and environmental practices across campuses. A report summarising the findings of the 2020 Sustainability Survey is now available. Here's what was found: ... Awareness of sustainability-related issues has increased both in general and within the University context. Over half of respondents believe that sustainability is a ‘top priority’ for the University. Reducing the University’s carbon footprint and reducing waste outputs remain top priorities for improving sustainability at the University. Although staff and students are motivated to improve campus sustainability, they experience similar key barriers to personal participation: convenience, expense and a need for more information and/or technical support. Suggestions for improvement centre around improving reach of sustainability-based communications, embedding sustainability across the University and providing resources and infrastructure to encourage participation in sustainability activities.
