This year's Sustainability Week will be packed with panel discussions, talks and interactive events on sustainability at Imperial and beyond.
Organised by Sustainable Imperial and the Imperial College Union, the Week will be celebrated from 21 - 25 March 2022.
The College will be celebrating the Imperial research that is helping it transition to a zero-pollution society and looking at the action it's taking on its own campuses to make Imperial’s operations Net Zero by 2040.
Each day will have its own theme, with a corresponding screening of The Earthshot Prize: Repairing Our Planet documentaries. The Union also has a variety of events planned by the ICU Ethics & Environment network, the Environmental Society, and other CSPs that will be happening throughout the week.
The Imperial community can find out more online, as well as on the Imperial College Union and clubs and societies channels.
Professor Ian Walmsley, Provost of Imperial College London, said: "I’m very pleased that Imperial is helping to build a more sustainable society. From research that is aiding the world to transition to zero pollution, to the actions we’re taking on our campuses, there is much to celebrate and look forward to."
