The University of Hertfordshire has
a Carbon Management Programme to reduce its 'carbon footprint' - the amount of carbon dioxide that is
produced from activities such as energy use in buildings, transport and waste production.
Read the University of Hertfordshire's Strategy and Implementation Plan (SIP) for the Carbon Management Programme - Full Report or Forewards and Executive Summary.
Carbon dioxide is the primary greenhouse gas that causes climate change. The University recognises that, if society as a whole is to tackle climate change, all sectors need to play their part. Find out more about climate change.
The efforts of students and staff are important in reducing our carbon footprint. Find out how you can play your part.
The University is working with the Carbon
Trust to design and implement their carbon management programme.
The Carbon Trust helps businesses and the public sector reduce carbon emissions and capture the commercial opportunities of low carbon technologies.

The Stern Report, a recent report commissioned by the Chancellor of the Exchequer has stated that "The cost (of climate change) could be equivalent to up to around 20% (reduction in global current per-capita consumption under a Business as Usual scenario), now and forever."
"Tackling climate change is the pro-growth strategy for the longer term, and it can be done in a way that does not cap the aspirations for growth of rich or poor countries. The earlier effective action is taken, the less costly it will be."
