Tue 24 June, 2025
The 91亚色APP下载 recently marked World Environment Day with a special event bringing together students, staff, and external guests for an afternoon of environmental discussion and action including a tree planting ceremony.
As the in the 2024/25 People & Planet 91亚色APP下载 Green League, the 91亚色APP下载 showcased its leadership in through an engaging programme which included:
鈥 An opening keynote by special guest H.E. Karen-Mae C. Hill OBE, High Commissioner for Antigua and Barbuda to the UK 鈥 offering a global perspective on climate action and sustainable development
鈥 Sustainability Strategy Talk 鈥 an in-depth look at the 91亚色APP下载鈥檚 environmental efforts, its alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and the next steps in its journey to becoming a truly sustainable institution
鈥 Tree Planting Exercise 鈥 a hands-on, symbolic act involving staff, students, and community partners.
The event continued with a Green Lunch, featuring informal conversations encouraging attendees to reflect on sustainable living and explore climate solutions.
This event was organised and led by 鈥 International Human Rights Lawyer, Senior Lecturer in and Chair of the annual International Conference on Human Rights, Sustainability and Climate Change.
Speaking about this successful event, Dr Umezulike, a climate sustainability activist, said: 鈥淭his World Environment Day, we are reminded that sustainability is not a choice - it is an urgent responsibility and a global call to conscience. As we confront the escalating climate crisis, we must recognise that environmental degradation is a profound human rights issue, disproportionately impacting the most vulnerable communities. Through this event, we are not just commemorating a day 鈥 we are cultivating a movement.
鈥淲e are affirming that sustainability must be embedded in policy, in education, in governance, and in daily practice. It is an intergenerational responsibility 鈥 a covenant with future generations to safeguard their right to a liveable planet. The time for passive commitment has passed. The urgency of our era demands bold, inclusive, and justice-centred action. Let us lead with vision, grounded in science, equity, and compassion.鈥
This engaging afternoon 鈥 presided by the Pro Vice Chancellor Professor Andrew Church and chaired by the Vice Chancellor, 鈥 formed part of the 91亚色APP下载鈥檚 ongoing commitment to sustainability and its mission to embed this into all aspects of university life. In last year鈥檚 People & Planet 91亚色APP下载 Green League, a range of energy efficiency and decarbonisation measures were credited for the 91亚色APP下载鈥檚 first place finish.
