LSE and the environment

NEWS: LSE wins recycling award

London's Greenest University 2008

LSE addresses environmental issues on four levels. This site aims to guide you through the various functions and initiatives that the School engages in.

Academic

Many of the academics at the LSE are using their research expertise to work on sustainable development covering social, economic and environmental issues in a range of departments and centres. See the Centre for Environmental Policy and Governance (CEPG) and the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment for more details.

Operational

The LSE recognises its own environmental impact and responsibilities. Much of this work is achieved through staff and student cooperation, primarily managed by the Estates Division

LSE Student Union

The LSE Student Union (LSESU) is an active participant in environmental initiatives and campaigns, coordinated through their Environment and Ethics Officer, Justus Rollin. Email su.environment@lse.ac.uk.

Leadership for Higher Education in London

The LSE chairs the London Universities Environmental Group (LUEG). This group aims to promote sustainable development within Higher Education Institutions (HEI) by sharing member information and collaborating with relevant partners in order to raise awareness and deliver sustainable development in the capital’s universities.

Special Projects

The LSE is currently running a HEFCE funded zero waste project, focusing on end-of-term reuse schemes in student halls of residences within the LSE and in seven partner Universities in England.
