Save our World day: Guest Lecture - Dr. Sarah Royston

Next year, universities in England are supposed to hit a target of cutting their carbon footprint by 43%. Instead, they are likely to achieve only a 13% cut. In this session, we'll hear about why our sector is performing so badly, and how we can do better. We'll also learn who are the best (and worst) performers, what we can learn from them, and the surprising story of how tuition fees have led to the dismantling of sustainability policy in our sector. Crucially, this is a chance to think about how students can use their power as HE citizens and "consumers" to press for change.
