Reaching Net Zero through Leadership & behavioural change

07 Nov 2024
Stage 2

This exciting session will look at change in all education buildings. In the quest for a sustainable future, leadership strategies, sustainable design and behavioural change are pivotal in guiding further and higher institutions towards achieving net zero emissions. Effective leadership fosters a culture of sustainability, encouraging innovative practices and policies that prioritise environmental responsibility. Sustainable design principals ensure that campus infrastructure and operations minimise carbon footprints, while promoting energy efficiency and resource conservation. Additionally, fostering behavioural change among students, staff and faculty in stills a collective commitment to sustainable practices, driving long-term environmental change.
