Department for Education written question – answered at on 14 March 2022.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps he plans to take to support universities in the transition to net zero.
In November 2021 we set out a draft Sustainability and Climate Change Strategy for the education sector. Within this we have set out our strategic aim for net zero. We have been engaging with higher education to seek their feedback on the draft ahead of publishing a final strategy in April 2022.
As part of this work, we have supported the Queen’s Jubilee Challenge for the further education (FE) and HE sectors to accelerate a sector-led review, so that by calendar year 2024 all FE and HE settings will be reporting their emissions via a standardised framework.
