In May 2019 the University of Exeter declared an Environmental and Climate Emergency to support those calling for urgent action and to show commitment to leading the change required. Our Vice-Chancellor at the time, Sir Steve Smith, said:

“Our mission, at the University of Exeter, is to make the exceptional happen by challenging traditional thinking and defying conventional boundaries. There is no greater challenge today than addressing the environment and climate emergency and we intend to play a full part in leading the changes required locally, nationally and globally.”

If you share our concerns, you will have many opportunities while studying here to get involved! We plan to become a Flagship Employer for Plastic Free Exeter, and received a ‘First Class Award’ in the People and Planet University ‘Green’ League 2017, finishing 18th out of 154 participating UK universities. The Green Gown Awards is an initiative that recognises the exceptional sustainability initiatives being undertaken by universities and colleges. Last year we were a finalist in four categories and won one of them and this year we’re very happy to be a finalist in the Student Engagement category for our Green Futures Scholarship scheme for post-graduates.
