LSBU is dedicated to protecting our planet and society. We promise to become a university of the future - one that is conscious, one that is responsible and one that is sustainable.
This year, LSBU is hosting a series of events on Sustainability and Climate Action. This events series is a unique platform to allow LSBU and our partners to advocate and celebrate key sustainability projects being delivering in these increasingly challenging times.As a university wide collaborative initiative, this event series will engage a number of stakeholders from funders to project partners, local and national government to NGOs, as well as current, past and future students.
Climate, Carbon, Energy and Resources (22 - 26 June 2020) The first event in the series will focus on the issues climate, carbon, energy and resources. The energy we consume creates carbon emissions that damage the planet through global warming. The Australian fires and Indonesian floods this year are the consequence of 250 years of industry using toxic energy sources. With the UK committed to be carbon neutral by 2050, and all nations aiming to reduce greenhouse gasses by 40% by 2030, how can we go green, more quickly and what will that mean for architects, engineers and the built environment?
LSBU's own leaders and experts in these fields, along with a host of external influential professionals, will showcase their work, experience and expertise in these fields as they demonstrate their commitment to tackling the major issues in sustainability and climate change.
Due to the current situation with Covid-19, this conference will be delivered online. The viritual platform for this and the joining information will be circulated around a week before the event.
