Sets targets to become net carbon neutral by 2040 in the University's 2016-2026 Climate Strategy which also identifies key issues, the actions planned to address them and how to reduce emissions, created in response to the increase in the institution's emissions since introduction of the Climate Action Plan 2010-2020.

The targets set by the University are very ambitious, but the recognition of the need for such targets and the outlining of a strategy on how to achieve such targets is a great example of how organisations can take action to address climate change playing their part in the achievement of SDG13.
