University Notice: Environmental Sustainability Reporting for 2023/24 and new Environmental Sustainability website
The University has now launched its refreshed Environmental Sustainability (ES) website, including the latest reporting metrics (2023-24) on the environmental performance of the University estate. For the first time the website will be updated on an ongoing basis as new content and data become available, rather than only reporting on the previous academic year.
On the website, you’ll find the University’s commitments for each operational area - Carbon and energy, Travel and transport, Waste and circular economy, Biodiversity, and Water – as well as the approach to delivery.
Dedicated Our progress pages contain brand new data, graphs and analysis, along with a new Case studies feature. The key drivers were to make information more transparent and accessible. Queries to sustainability@admin.cam.ac.uk
