Sustainability of communities and the environment

Explore some highlights of our work in this theme across Education, Research and Knowledge Exchange and Engagement.

OUR SUSTAINABLE CAMPUSES

Locally, nationally, and around the world, we support people to make their communities more sustainable and to protect the environment.  

We know that change has to start at home and walking the walk is vitally important in establishing our green credentials. Across our campuses we are taking steps and collaborating with students and staff to accelerate our progress to sustainability. 

HUMAN RIGHTS AND GENDER JUSTICE

Our academics are leading the way in shining a light on injustices and dangers to the sustainable and equitable future of global communities and societies. Working to UN sustainable development goals, we want to hold power to account and tackle injustices through research and action. 

SPORT AS A COMMUNITY FORCE

Sport can be an essential global force for good. It leads to healthier populations and brings together communities.  

Our researchers look at how we can use sport and physical activity to create healthier outcomes in schools, improve quality of life across demographics and improve elite performance. Across our global campuses our students and staff use sport to maintain mental and physical health, and to have fun.
