University of Exeter: Carbon Emissions

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment he has made of the University of Exeter's progress to becoming net zero by 2050.

Answer

No specific assessment is made by government departments of individual educational institutions to assess their progress to becoming net zero by 2050. This includes the University of Exeter.

We have supported the Queen’s Jubilee Challenge for the FE and HE sector to accelerate a sector-led review, so that by 2024 all FE and HE settings will be reporting their emissions via a standardised framework.
