Environmental Sustainability
City SA Impact Report 2020/21 18
The Project Team was created this year on request of
students, for the Students' Association and the College to
embrace the green transition and accelerate change. Our
greatest achievement has been to raise awareness about
the difficult context we live in for any Climate Positive
Action to take place, the work ethic needed for Climate
Action and the key areas of focus for the Project Team.
We have also embedded Sustainability into the CitySA
Representation Structure and Staff Awards
We have established long term relationship with key
partner organisations in our community
We have created spaces for students and staff to talk
about the Climate Crisis and feedback their ideas on
improving the sustainability profile at the college
We have ran campaigns to give opportunities for
students to engage with solutions and raise
environmental awareness
We have worked with our College partners to embed
sustainability into the curriculum
We have worked with our College partners on the First
Sustainability Consultation ever run at the City of
Glasgow College
We have challenged the Climate Crisis NUS Policy for
21-22 and now NUS will work towards this, following
City steps and promote institutions to create spaces
where to consult future Sustainability Strategies with
the student population.
This year we have learned fast, changed our direction if we
faced barriers, we have never given up, and now, we are
closing a year of hard work that have triggered a change in
ourselves, our team, our students, and our College
partners. We know we still have a long way to go, however,
we understand how important our work is. We are in the
early green transition and this year; we have found our
direction of travel. We are embracing sustainability and we
will transform our community working together.
