Sustainability Strategy and Policy

The University of Galway Sustainability Strategy 2021-2025 sets out our vision and commitment to lead the implementation of sustainability across the campus and beyond. We will do this by embedding sustainability in our culture, operational policies and governance structures and empowering our communities to be champions of sustainability. 

Leagtar amach i Straitéis Inbhuanaitheachta Ollscoil na Gaillimhe 2021-2025 ár bhfís agus ár dtiomantas chun cur i bhfeidhm na hinbhuanaitheachta ar fud an champais agus níos faide i gcéin a threorú. Déanfaimid é seo trí inbhuanaitheacht a leabú inár gcultúr, inár bpolasaithe oibríochta agus inár struchtúir rialachais agus trí chumhacht a thabhairt dár bpobail a bheith ina seaimpíní inbhuanaitheachta.

Climate Action and Sustainability Policy

The purpose of the University of Galway Climate Action and Sustainability Policy (QA205) is two-fold:

•  To embed carbon management into all University operations and processes with a view to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 in line with global efforts to limit warming to 1.5˚C
• To lead the transition to a sustainable future by embedding the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), into all our major efforts, including education, research, leadership, professional support services, operations and engagement activities.
