The Green League
People & Planet is proud to announce that the Green League 2009 is unveiled today in the Times Higher Education. The award-winning Green League is the only league table showing the environmental performance of Britain’s universities.
People & Planet congratulates all those universities which have been awarded a first class degree. Their success is a tribute to sustained and comprehensive efforts to improve the quality of environmental management in the higher education sector. But we can’t leave it to a small number of leading institutions: all universities must take comprehensive and ambitious environmental action now to meet - or ideally surpass - the targets set out in the Climate Change Act.
Ian Leggett Director People & Planet, 2009
