World Environment Day<\/h1>\n

Ever since 1973, June 5th<\/sup> has marked World Environment Day. Each year it is hosted by a different country; this year is the Republic of Korea.<\/p>\n

World Environment Day is the largest effort for environmental outreach, with millions taking part around the world.<\/p>\n

Focusing on ending plastic pollution, according to the United Nation<\/a>, \u201c400 million tonnes of plastic is produced every year worldwide. Half of which is still only designed for single use. And less than 10% is recycled\u201d. So this year World Environment is going #BeatPlasticPollution\u201d, highlighting, promoting and teaching the science to \u201crefuse, reduce, reuse, recycle, and rethink plastics use to build a cleaner and more sustainable future\u201d.<\/p>\n

Taking action is becoming increasingly important to save the environment. You can explore events taking place around the world, access campaign resources, and learn how you can help prevent plastic pollution at World Environment Day.global.<\/a><\/p>\n

Edinburgh Napier on World Environment Day<\/h2>\n

With today at World Environment Day, we are going to look at Environmental Sustainability at Edinburgh Napier University<\/a> and the path to Net Zero Carbon 2023. Our sustainability is tied to our academic research and actions.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Edinburgh Napier\u2019s Environmental Sustainability<\/h3>\n

At the university, we are committed to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) as well as Scotland\u2019s National Performance Framework. Much of our research and curriculum is dedicated to the SDG14, and embedded toolkits and case studies are available for academics to frame their degree programmes to meet the SDG. For example, in the School of Computing, Engineering and Built Environment, our built environment is dedicated to teaching sustainable construction.<\/p>\n

Our first score of Impact rankings, Napier achieved 76.1 out of 100.<\/p>\n

On top of this, we have made strides from biodiversity to reducing waste. \u00a0We listed some of the stuff we do at Napier below.<\/p>\n

Did you know that Craiglockhart campus contains around 50 different plant species, which include a rare fungus and a yellow barista. We also have the Lion Gates Garden that sits just outside Merchiston Library, or you can take part in a gardening club at Sighthill. And we are proud that all our campuses are hedgehog friendly.<\/p>\n

All our campuses and accommodation\u2019s energy usage is monitored, LED lighting is used throughout.<\/p>\n

And 80% of our waste is all recycled, with 20% going to refuse-derived fuel. By 2030, we plan to be a net-zero university.<\/p>\n
