Our Sustainability Strategy 2031

At the University of Liverpool, we place a more sustainable planet at the heart of our values and our vision for the future. This Sustainability Strategy recognises the great potential we have to make a difference and sets out our commitment to doing so.

Recognising both the global value of our academic role and our local impact as a large organisation, our vision is to drive forward environmental and social equity through our education, research, and operations, making a positive impact within and beyond our boundaries.
