Centre at uni for climate change

A ground- breaking new Centre for Sustainable Practice and Living has been launched at Stirling University.

A collaboration between the university and the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA), the centre’s aims to inspire and empower communities to develop new pathways to achieve sustainable practice.

This new interdisciplinary centre, based in the Stirling Management School, will move to establish a sustainability leadership programme, inspiring leaders from across society to drive progress towards a more sustainable future.

Drawing on expertise from across the university, it will be an active hub for innovative research and education and provide a safe environment for collaborations between the civic, business and public sector.

Speaking at the 2020 Climate Group Summit on Friday, Scotland’s Minister for Environment, Climate Change and Land Reform, Dr Aileen McLeod, announced the establishment of the centre.

She said: “We all need to do our bit for the environment and tackle climate change. The Centre for Sustainable Practice and Living will bring together the public sector, academic research, business and environmental organisations to work collaboratively with communities towards a more sustainable future and a low carbon economy.”
