What is the Student Sustainability Forum?
The Student Sustainability Forum, set up in 2019, is an initiative co-managed by the Students’ Union UCL and Sustainable UCL. It is one of the priority actions in the 2019–2024 Sustainability Strategy. The idea is for students to develop practical sustainability solutions with staff across the university so that positive changes can be made. It serves as a platform for students to bring in their ideas and concerns around sustainability into our university’s plans, projects and visions.
Throughout the years, the Student Sustainability Forum (previously known as Council) has made significant contributions to promote students’ sustainability awareness and engagement. Nevertheless, the participation rate was low in some of the meetings. The current Forum format allows all students to participate.
How do I join?
Each Forum is open to all students. All meetings for 2023-24 academic year have now happened. Please check back in next academic year!
How does it work?
Throughout the year, multiple Forums will be held, each one unique based on the theme tackled - these can include university operations, food on campus, or education for sustainability to name a few. Every time, interested students will have the opportunity to join.
