This year's themes
Daily Climate Action
We can make climate-friendly choices every day, like eating more plant-based foods, avoiding fast fashion by choosing pre-loved clothes, or taking public transport where we can.
Campus Climate Action
We have a lot of opportunities as UoL staff and students to support the delivery of the University’s Climate Plan, and keep building our climate-friendly campus. You might only be studying for a few years, but by taking sustainable action on campus, you can leave a lasting impact on your University Community long after you graduate.
Global Climate Action
The climate crisis affects us all, but it doesn’t affect us equally. Climate Week events will explore the complex, intersectional nature of climate change, so we can act collectively to support the people facing the worst impacts of the crisis.
Get involved
We are looking for student-led initiatives to fill Climate Week with sustainability driven and climate friendly activities and events.
Actions might include:
- Building themes of sustainability and climate-action into your regularly planned activities
- Organising a community-enrichment event, such as a society litter-pick, fundraiser or volunteer day with a Leeds-based non-profit enterprise
- Hosting an event at LUU to inform students about your society and its sustainable impact
- Co-leading, volunteering and promoting Climate Week events happening at LUU to your members
Please submit your ideas by the end of Monday 23 October, and we will be in touch with you shortly.
