Sustainability

In 2020, JMSU declared a Climate Emergency — a public commitment to take urgent and meaningful action to protect our environment and future. Since then, sustainability has remained central to everything we do.

Working closely with students, we developed our first Sustainability Action Plan, which guided our environmental efforts from 2020 to 2023. This plan led to tangible progress and laid the foundation for continued action — progress that we’ve built on in the years since.

Meet the Ambassadors

Sustainability Ambassadors uphold JMSU values while driving positive change at LJMU and beyond. They engage students in eco-friendly initiatives, attend sustainability meetings alongside full-time officers, and organise council meetings. Ambassadors also campaign for green projects, gather student feedback, and contribute to JMSU’s efforts to reduce its environmental impact.

Aífe Bradbury

Sustainability Ambassador

Wildlife Conservation Student

I joined this role to explore how LJMU addresses environmental issues and help identify improvements. I’m especially passionate about enhancing campus visuals with wildflower gardens, encouraging recycling and volunteering, and supporting the university’s Eco Campus platinum goal.

Harriet Stokes – Raj

Sustainability Ambassador

Tourism Management Student

I’m passionate about sustainable development in Liverpool and driving change at LJMU. Through my studies, I’ve explored how small actions like recycling and conserving resources make a big impact. I aim to promote thrifted clothing, improve food sustainability on campus, and foster biodiversity through green spaces.

Izabel Eyre

Sustainability Ambassador

Fashion Design Student

As someone preparing to enter the industry, I believe we have the power to shape its future for the better. I became an ambassador because I value the power of knowledge and the impact of collective action. I'm especially passionate about reducing waste through upcycling and repair, giving new life to clothes and accessories with something as simple as a needle and thread.
