Discover the environmental, social and economic issues facing society, such as climate change and poverty. This Theme is part of the Sustainable Curriculum Principle and the University's Climate Plan.
You can start your sustainability journey at Leeds by taking the Sustainability Induction that is for all students and staff. It introduces sustainability concepts, challenges facing the world and the University's policies, programmes and systems. They also cover our roles at and outside the University in making a positive difference.
Want to increase your employability potential by having the sustainability knowledge and skills that companies, public institutions, government and civil society now require?
Want to get your teeth into the global and local challenges that are shaping our world such as the human cost of cheap consumer goods (poor working conditions, financial inequalities) or the impact of climate change (flooding and droughts)? What might a sustainable future look like and how can we best manage change?
Modules in this Theme will expose you to a range of different tools and approaches that can be used in tackling such problems. You can get stuck in to solving sustainability issues at work, in communities or individual lifestyles. Be part of the ‘campus living laboratory’ scheme alongside the University’s Sustainability Service
