University of Greenwich Engages in Green Greenwich Summit 2024

Last week, the university took part in the Royal Borough of Greenwich’s Green Greenwich Summit 2024.  During the summit, the university gave presentations on making buildings and vehicles carbon net zero.

The summit, which is supported by the Mayor of London and funded by the government, consisted of a day long series of presentations, workshops, case studies and networking.

The Royal Borough of Greenwich declared a climate emergency in 2019 and agreed to set an ambitious target to reach net zero by 2030. The aim is to identify up to five projects which support the achievement of the borough’s net zero and inclusion ambitions, to be worked upon over the coming years as part of an ongoing programme of activities and events led by the South East London Chamber of Commerce.

Hosted at the Charlton Athletic Football Club, the four key themes for the day were empowering wider change, buildings, transport and green digital. In particular, the university was part of a panel giving presentations on ensuring new and existing buildings in the borough are net zero carbon and reducing emissions from transport across the borough.
