Congratulations to Leeds Met, Plymouth and Hertfordshire!
They top the ‘leader-board’. There’s a long way to go for even the 15 highest performers who gain a First, to achieve the dramatic cuts in CO₂ necessary to stop climate chaos. But they’re on course to achieve continuous, systematic environmental improvement. If all universities followed their example, Higher Education could - as it must - take its place at the forefront of society’s efforts to achieve sustainability.
