Climate Week

Welcome to Climate Week 23/24

Climate Week 2023/24 is taking place on Monday 30 October – Friday 3 November.

LUU is partnering with the University this October for our 4th annual Climate Week. This year, the campaign centres on supporting you to feel confident, knowledgeable and empowered to take action on complex climate issues at a personal, community and global level.

We have prepared an exciting programme of events this week, so get involved, try something new, and pitch in for our planet.

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.
