Executive Summary
We often hear that education is the answer to the world’s greatest challenges, including climate change. Barnsley College is an outstanding general Further Education (FE) college. We have a duty to equip our learners with the tools and skills to face those challenges. In the wake of the UK government’s ambitious commitment to reach net zero carbon emissions, we have an opportunity to embed sustainable learning and values throughout the College and the wider community. We must step-up and see opportunity in reducing our environmental impact. Globally, we are collectively working towards limiting the earth’s temperature by 1.5°C; our students, staff and the next generation will live through and experience the changes that come with this. For this reason, our sustainability strategy sets out to explore all elements of sustainability within the College’s control. We know that our actions can contribute to slowing global heating and adapting to a changing climate. Yiannis Koursis OBE Principal and CEO
