LSE’s annual Sustainability report 2022/23, published today on Earth Day (22 April), highlights the School’s ongoing commitment to environmental sustainability and tackling the climate crisis.
Driven by the School’s senior leadership team, the report illustrates how sustainability has been integrated into key areas across the university including education, research, engagement and leadership, investment and collaboration – as set out in LSE’s Sustainability Strategic Plan.
The School has been sector-leading in making in making positive changes. It was ranked in the top 10 per cent of universities worldwide for sustainability in the QS Sustainability rankings 2023, and top in the UK for the “sustainable institutions” lens of the ranking.
Our newest building project, 35 Lincoln’s Inn Field (to be named the Firoz Lalji Global Hub) will be LSE’s first net zero building in construction and operation. This means the building’s carbon emissions will be transparently calculated, avoided or reduced; and residual emissions offset, so net carbon emissions equal zero.
