Sustainability Action Month is a series of online and in person events running between 8 April – 9 May 2024, which aims to educate, engage and inspire staff and students to change their behaviour, even in a small way, to make more sustainable decisions and take action in their everyday lives.
Sustainability Action Month is themed around four focus areas for each week with lots of events and activities for you to get involved with. From Climate Cafe’s and clothes swaps to seed giveaways and expert talks, there’s loads going on both on campus and online!
