In this blog series, Dr Maggy Fostier,\u00a0FBMH Associate Dean for Environmental Sustainability, will provide a run down on all the latest Environmental Sustainability news in FBMH.<\/em><\/p>\n Welcome to the third edition of the FBMH Environmental Sustainability (ES) Good Newsletter. Our previous ES Good Newsletters are available here: June 2023<\/a>, October 2023.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n I am really pleased with the progress made in the last year. Thanks to a growing number of Green and LEAF champions, we are becoming a greener Faculty in the way in which we conduct our research, consider our green spaces, and approach how to embed ES content and skills in our various curricula. Our outreach activities are also multiplying thanks to our student and staff volunteers, aiming to educate and influence those within our reach.<\/p>\n This year, the\u00a0University also celebrates its bicentenary, including an extra special 4-day edition of our annual Community festival, Universally Manchester<\/a>, centred around a greener, fairer and healthier world, in support of the United Nations\u2019 Sustainable Development Goals. Many future events are advertised in this edition, but more are in the planning, so make sure you follow us on X (formerly Twitter) @FBMH_SR.<\/a>\u00a0Please do contact srbmh@manchester.ac.uk<\/a>\u00a0to share more ES good news\/tips or your ES events.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Here is our progress towards our strategic plan:\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n Engaging all Faculty laboratories by 2025 with tools focusing on reducing consumption and waste, sharing resources more effectively and developing more sustainable protocols: LEAF<\/b> (Laboratory Efficiency Assessment Framework) and 6R<\/b> (Review, Reduce, Reuse Refill, Replace, Recycle).\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0Engaging staff and students with sustainable actions on campus to reach our University targets:\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0Disseminating UoM research on climate change, climate solution and resilience.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Supporting green spaces on campus (e.g., Michael Smith quad) that promote biodiversity, whilst offering enjoyment and opportunities for nature-based learning or well-being activities.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Embedding sustainability in our undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.\u00a0<\/p>\n Promoting sustainable actions in our wider community (schools, community, organisations, businesses \u2013 local or afar) with the help of trained students.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0Educating and exciting those we can reach about existing and future solutions to tackle the climate crisis.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Sign up to receive the FBMH ES newsletter by contacting\u00a0<\/span><\/span>srbmh@manchester.ac.uk<\/span><\/span><\/a>.
