Sustainability

Climate Commitment

UHI Shetland take our responsibilities to creating sustainability and helping the environment seriously.

As one of the signatories of the Universities and Colleges Climate Commitment for Scotland (UCCCfS), we are committed to addressing the challenges of climate change and to investigating ways in which we can reduce CO2 emissions.

UHI Shetland is a member of Environmental Association for Universities & Colleges (EAUC).

We have also recently signed the Race to Zero pledge, where we join others in pledging to reach (net) zero GHGs as soon as possible, with mid-century at the latest. You can read more about the Race to Zero pledge here.
