If you cycle to campus and are missing lights drop by our stand on January 21st & 23rd

Climate change is one of the biggest challenges society currently faces. What can we do to ensure we minimise our impact and reduce our carbon footprint?

UCD Estate Services and UCD Green Campus support Dogs Trust donating almost 4,000 duvets and saving 3,920 of waste from landfill since 2016.

We make 7 million journeys to and from the UCD campus each year. How we choose to commute can have a big impact on the environment.

Three new bike repair stands have been installed across campus.

The summer period is a busy time for Estate Services, in particular it offers an opportunity to implement carbon reduction initiatives for the University and we would like to update you on some of these plans.  

We once again ask for a big effort to Switch-Off this bank holiday weekend. This extra effort can make a very considerable contribution to reducing UCD’s carbon footprint and help us progress towards our 2020 targets.

The official 2018 results are due to be published shortly by the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI). Early indications are good, however the period between now and the end of 2020 is crucial to our success.
