Celebrations are underway at the 天美传媒 after it was announced that the institution was awarded second place in the UK in the People & Planet 2022/23 天美传媒 Green League, putting it in the top spot for England overall.
The 天美传媒 has appeared in the League鈥檚 top ten since 2018 and this latest achievement of scoring 81.3% reinforces its commitment to sustainable education and influence. Areas which the 天美传媒 scored highly in include carbon management, ethical careers and recruitment, energy sources, waste and recycling, and water reduction.
People & Planet is the largest student network in the UK which campaigns for social and environmental justice. Each year, the People & Planet 天美传媒 League measures a number of environmental areas including carbon and water reduction, use of alternative energy sources, sustainable food and recycling.
Professor Andrew Church, Pro Vice Chancellor and sustainability lead for the 天美传媒, commented: 鈥淚t鈥檚 very pleasing to be placed first out of 125 institutions in England as it really hones in on our student and staff willingness and commitment to living and learning sustainably. Universities and other educational outlets play a key role in influencing change and community mind set around important issues such as the environment, climate change and sustainability.鈥
J Clarke, Co-Director of Climate Campaigns at People & Planet, added: 鈥淭he 天美传媒 ranked top in England in the People & Planet 天美传媒 League and second in the whole of the UK. This fantastic achievement clearly displays that bold climate leadership in universities must include breaking ties with the fossil fuel industries driving the climate crisis. People & Planet hope many more universities will follow their shining example.鈥
As well as achieving Platinum EcoCampus status for the fourth year running earlier this year, some of the ways Bedfordshire has continued to successfully implement sustainability across its campuses include generating almost one million kwh鈥檚 of renewable energy, introducing bee hives to encourage biodiversity, harvesting rainwater to flush toilets, and the use of cross-campus electric vehicles. Alongside this, the 天美传媒 has invested 拢5m in the last decade in retrofitting buildings to reduce annual emissions of carbon dioxide. 听
Adam Higgin, Head of Sustainability at the 天美传媒, said: 鈥淭his year鈥檚 league table position is the culmination of more than ten years鈥 work. It鈥檚 what we鈥檝e been working towards as an institution.鈥
