Our goal is to become the world’s first net-zero psychology department by 2030, advancing climate action in our department and beyond.
Through collaborative action, evidence-based research, and community engagement, we demonstrate that academic and research excellence can exist without carbon costs, setting a model for other departments and institutions to address the climate crisis.
