Sustainability
Welcome to Glasgow Caledonian University`s environmental and sustainability web pages.
With over 1,550 staff providing teaching, learning, and research opportunities to over 20,000 students through almost 400 courses we inevitably have an environmental impact and are committed to minimising it. These pages provide information about what we are doing to deliver on this commitment and contain information about our environmental performance and our sustainability initiatives.
A Living Lab
Our campus is a Living Lab where students and academics work with the Estates and Sustainability Team to improve the University’s environmental performance by developing practical solutions to real world problems. You will find examples of student projects here.
