Environmental Sustainability at Cornwall Campuses

A major focus of the University of Exeter’s research and teaching activities is environmental sustainability and climate change, which we consider to be a key responsibility for everyone.

As a university we look for ways to support students to understand sustainability issues better and our website: exeter. ac.uk/sustainability is a great starting point and resource. You can find out how and where to recycle, how to travel more sustainably, how to save energy as well as find opportunities to get involved.

You can find information on the Cornwall campuses commitment to sustainability and what is being done to reduce carbon and ecological impact at: exeter.ac.uk/ cornwall/sustainability/ sustainabilityincornwall
