King’s Climate & Sustainability

We are rapidly scaling our response to the climate emergency through transformative multidisciplinary research, by embedding sustainability into our teaching, partnerships and impact, and by ‘walking the talk’ in our operations and activities. The climate crisis calls for a fundamental shift in our societies and economies and will mean new paradigms for decision-making, leadership, education, research and innovation. King’s is uniquely positioned to unite globally impactful research, education and action with the perspectives, expertise and partners needed to adapt to the impacts of climate change and enable just and fair transitions to net zero.

Our multi-disciplinary approach and leadership on climate action has been recognised by the 2021 People & Planet University League, which ranked King’s 2nd out of 154 UK universities for our commitment to environmental sustainability. The 2022 Times Higher Education Impact Ranking also placed us among the top five universities in the UK and Europe for acting to address social and environmental issues.
