Managing Estate Safety: Practical Considerations for the Higher Education sector
The Higher Education sector has made significant progress in planning for net zero, with many institutions developing decarbonisation strategies and identifying the investment needed to meet their sustainability goals. However, delivering these projects can be challenging in the face of financial pressures, competing priorities and complex estate requirements.
To better understand how institutions are navigating these challenges, we conducted research into the delivery of decarbonisation projects across the sector. Drawing on the findings, this webinar examined the current landscape, the barriers the sector faces, and the practical solutions helping to drive progress.
Whether you're responsible for estates, sustainability or capital projects, our 'Research Insights and Practical Solutions' webinar recording will provide valuable insight into the opportunities, challenges and practical considerations involved in delivering decarbonisation projects across the university estate.
