Climate change is amongst the most important strategic drivers for universities and all organisations.
But it is difficult to integrate into strategy and planning because of its scale and complexity, and the fact that it touches every part of an institution’s work.
Our Integrating climate into strategy and planning in universities, released today in partnership with SUMS Consulting, looks at the current state of sector practice for integrating climate as a strategic driver and makes recommendations to support universities’ journey towards being net zero, climate resilient institutions.
A separate Executive Summary - Integrating climate into strategy and planning in universities is also available.
Key findings include:
Building on this work, HESPA and SUMS have established a Community of Practice for Sustainability in Strategy and Planning. The group is aimed at strategic planners and colleagues, and membership is open to institutions who are members of HESPA or SUMS Consulting.
