The world is facing a climate emergency, and we must act now to build a more sustainable future. We need innovative, practical solutions to create a more sustainable, resilient University - and we need your input to make it happen.

We're inviting staff and students to join these collaborative sessions, where you'll explore ideas together to solve the key sustainability challenges we are facing on campus.

This is your chance to feed directly into the design and development of the University's sustainability solutions, ensuring that staff and student perspectives shape our long-term plans.

Sign up for our two sessions for staff and students:

• Session 1 - Thursday 27 February, 12-3pm
• Session 2 - Tuesday 4 March, 11-2pm

Can't make it? There will also be an open drop-in session on Thursday 6 March - feel free to come along to all three!

These interactive sessions will bring together key stakeholders from across the University to tackle the issues we face in areas such as:

• the biodiversity you see on campus
• how we recycle, repair, and reuse
• the way we travel to campus
• the food we consume - and how we grow it
• engaging with sustainability

We want to hear from everyone - you don't have to be an expert in anything sustainability related to share your views and contribute!

Why get involved?

• Free food: come along for a delicious lunch in exchange for your ideas
• Be part of real change: your insight will help shape sustainability solutions for the University
• Develop new skills: a great experience to add to your CV, showcasing problem-solving and sustainability leadership
• Earn rewards: staff can gain Green Impact points for taking part, and students can earn Spirit of Sussex Award points
• Network with like-minded people: work alongside others who care about making a difference

Join us and be part of the change! Sign up now to secure your place at the first session, the second session, or both.
