One we safeguard and steward with urgency

Climate change is one of the most powerful examples of a common goal we've ever known. Societies, economies and ecosystems everywhere are affected by warmer temperatures and more extreme, unpredictable weather. These effects aren’t felt equally from country to country, nor are they proportionate to each nation’s contribution to this global problem. Those who have done little to create climate change could suffer the most from its effects. There’s an urgent and growing need for transformative solutions. We are working to stop widespread environmental degradation and to contribute to a more sustainable and resilient future.

Our focus

impact-planet-focus

A thriving and sustainable planet is a central focus for impact at King's. We want to ensure that the way forward is just and fair: that the unprecedented technological, economic and cultural changes ahead also enable more equal, peaceful and healthy societies. Our approach starts with ambitious shifts within King’s. We are working to embed sustainable practices and principles of environmental stewardship in every aspect of university life. Through our research, we are generating evidence-based solutions to environmental challenges and building cross-disciplinary partnerships. And through our education, we’re equipping students with the knowledge and skills to address the ecological crises of our era.

Delivering impact

We're integrating globally impactful research and action. Educating the next generation of active citizens and leaders. Working with governments, industries, not-for-profit organisations and community groups to shape fair and just transitions to a sustainable planet. And helping the public discover ways we can all safeguard the planet and build a better future. Through interdisciplinary environmental research, bold operational shifts and global partnerships, King's is leading by example on climate and sustainability action.
