SUSTAINABILITY & NET ZERO
Carbon Reduction The University approved new carbon reduction targets in 2021/22: • 60% reduction in Carbon Emissions by 2030 (against our 2009/10 baseline). • Net Zero emissions by 2040. The Carbon Management Plan for 2030 was published and sets out the actions we are taking to reduce emissions in line with our 2030 target. As shown in figure 2, carbon emissions from energy and fuel use increased slightly from 6,634 tonnes CO2e in 2020/21, to 6,741 tonnes in 2021/22. This is due to an increase in GIA from new buildings such as St. Marks Student Accommodation and the acquisition of Lawress Hall at Riseholme. The amount of energy consumed across our estate increased from 33.4 GWh in 2020/21 to 35.4 GWh in 2021/22. Energy prices also in- creased significantly during this period. This presented challenges for budget forecasting and management. The Sustainability Team worked closely with Colleges and Departments to manage consump- tion and reduce energy wastage. The Sustainability Team are under- taking a Net Zero Feasibility Study, to develop a ‘glide path’ to Net Zero by 2040. This will be delivered by May 2023, alongside new Es- tates Masterplans for the Brayford and Riseholme campuses. Travel The Staff and Student Travel Survey was conducted in October 2021. This data is analysed to inform travel policies, projects and infrastructure. Student engagement The Sustainability team have supported the development of Educa- tion for Sustainable Development and worked with academic col- leagues to embed sustainability within teaching and learning.
