What we do

We seek to tackle global environmental challenges through teaching, research and outreach.

We are doing this by:

• building a vibrant global community of talented people at the forefront of addressing issues arising from environmental change
• inspiring the next generation of environmentalists engaged in academia, industry, civil society or policy making arenas
• responding to the changing demands of our students and their aspirations to combat environment problems
• developing collegiality across the University and beyond
• supporting an alumni network that builds lifelong connections and creates internship and employment opportunities for students and graduates
• working collectively - our aims cannot be achieved in isolation
