UWS Focus on Sustainability in Scotland | UWS | University of the West of Scotland

Sustainability

Strategy 2025 promises UWS will become a stand-out university committed to tackling the UN Sustainable Development Goals, as well as a leader in climate change and resilience through research and enterprise activity.

The University’s long-standing commitment to sustainability is shown through the commitment to be net zero in operations by 2040. 

It's also demonstrated through the signing of the Sustainable Development Goal Accord. This commits UWS to reporting annually on work towards embedding the UN Sustainable Development Goals through learning and teaching, research, leadership, operations, and engagement activities.
