Vera Holmes Building, CCCU

As the University moves in to its 60th year and begins a period of renewal through the development of a new Strategic Framework, the world faces many different and existential issues than in the 1960s. The threats of climate change, biodiversity loss and the inevitable consequences on populations both near and far need a clear and unequivocal University response. To signal this change, and provide a vehicle through which the University will enable change amongst the communities it serves, we will be launching an Academy for Sustainable Futures. Our keynote speaker for this event is Jane Davidson, Pro Vice-Chancellor Emeritus of University of Trinity St. David, and architect of the Wellbeing of Future Generations Act (2015) in Wales. Her address will be followed by the unveiling of our own Future Generations Pledge that will drive us to deliver a more sustainable future. To find out more click HERE
