To achieve this, we will influence and enable partners and the community to achieve net-zero emissions by:

PRIORITY 3

• Collaborating on the net-zero roadmap for Luton that sets goals and pathways across social, economic, environmental and place-based aims. This includes furthering the University’s role linked to Luton Rising, concerning the future development of the airport.

Tackling the climate emergency and becoming a net-zero town with sustainable growth and a healthier environment.

• Directing and supporting Research & Development collaborations that lead to funding for innovative companies in our town to work with our academic experts in Smart Cities and Renewable Energy Management Systems on projects directly contributing to the NetZero agenda.

• Supporting the evidence-based design of schemes and incentives for communities, businesses and the public sector to adopt climate positive practices, drawing on the University’s Platinum Eco Campus status and expertise. This will help provide practical tools to support other local institutions to be more sustainable.
