School of Earth and Environment

Sustainability Pages

Introduction

The School adopts the policies and procedures put in place by the continually evolving University Environmental Management programme.  For more information on this, see the University of Leeds Environmental pages

Due to the close relationship between the academic interests across the School and issues of environmental and social sustainability tackled by this programme, we aim to become a leading example in this area.

Please view the sections below for information on the procedures we currently have in place and the projects and initiatives we are developing.  This area is rapidly evolving and these web pages will be updated to reflect this.
