Oxford Students Sustainability Network is a scheme offering action and engagement opportunities, support for students interested in taking their own initiative, training and networking.
The University of Oxford is committed to reaching net zero carbon and biodiversity net gain by 2035. To reach these ambitious targets, we need everyone on board.
Environmental sustainability begins with action. With over 24,000 students in the university, our daily behaviours make a big difference to the environment. The scheme is open to all students and facilitates all actions, big and small, from engaging with existing campaigns in Oxford, to setting up your own projects.
