With COP26 coming to Glasgow, we have a great opportunity to raise awareness of our expertise and leadership in how we are collectively working towards a sustainable future.

The External Relations Team aims to raise awareness of how our staff and students are engaged in research, teaching and education to provide positive change for a better world.

They will be sharing stories with the media, partnership organisations, on the University’s website, on third party paid media channels and on social media.

The University's Vice-Principal, External Relations, Rachel Sandison, said: “COP26 is a landmark moment in the global effort to combat climate change, and the University is right at the centre of that action. If there’s one thing we all know, and that the last 18 months has shown, it’s that the University community can achieve great things when we work together as one team.

“It really is an honour to lead the COP26 working group which is ensuring that we are engaging effectively with local, regional and international partners to together help change the world.”
