What are universities doing to address sustainability challenges?

Dr Georgiana Allison, Head of Sustainability at Lancaster University, joins Jan and Paul to discuss what the home of the Pentland Centre is doing to become more sustainable. They cover everything from Lancaster’s wind and solar farms, carbon impacts, changing attitudes and behaviours, how to make an impact in the classroom and where there is hope for the future.

Plus, why are sustainability strategies like icing and cake? And has Paul found an ally against rankings and benchmarking?
