Russell Group universities are delivering green breakthroughs that can cut energy bills, reduce carbon and help accelerate progress toward Net Zero.

Tackling the climate crisis and building a green future is an enormous challenge

Our universities – with partners here and around the world – are working to deliver solutions that can help meet ambitious climate targets and secure clean, sustainable growth.

We are also giving all our students the opportunity to learn about sustainability issues and the skills and confidence to challenge the status quo, which will be vital as organisations drive towards Net Zero.

To build a bright future, the next government should

• Deliver a Green Boost to tried and tested research funding streams, along with smart regulation, proof of concept and innovative procurement opportunities will turn Net Zero ideas into reality.
   
• Create a network of Net Zero Trailblazer Universities to share best practice, help communities cut carbon emissions and discover new opportunities for green jobs
