Governance, policies and league tables
The University of Exeter is committed to leading meaningful action against the climate emergency and ecological crisis as a core part of Strategy 2030.
The University’s Environment and Climate Emergency Policy Statement was agreed by the University Executive Board.
The Environment and Climate Emergency (ECE) Policy aims to integrate carbon and environmental management into all University processes and to maximise the influence of the University in reducing its footprint through education and research, its operations and ambitions; and as such is integral to each of the Sovereign Strategies.
The Climate and Environmental Crisis Board is accountable for ensuring the Policy is implemented.
