Environmental report showcases sustainability successes

National awards, reducing carbon emissions, and new action plans are among the achievements outlined in the University of Reading’s new Environmental Sustainability Report. 

The report, published during the University of Reading’s Green Festival 2025, highlights the numerous green milestones achieved in the year up to August 2025. 

Some of the top achievements outlined in the report include: 

Dan Fernbank, Energy & Sustainability Director, said: “There is so much to be proud of, and so much more still to be achieved. Climate change remains one of the largest global threats we face and we must continue to demonstrate leadership through our own actions, through our teaching and through our research. At a time when some organisations and some states are reining back climate mitigation efforts, demonstrating what can be achieved, why it is needed and inspiring others to emulate that, gives us all hope for the future.”
