Clean Growth video transcript
Climate change is already a reality for communities across the world and there is growing acceptance that we are running out of time to act.
The global initiative ‘Race to Zero’ is committing regions, cities, investors, businesses and universities to achieve net zero.
Coventry University will support and inspire our communities, students and businesses to accelerate the drive to reduce harmful emissions.
Our vision is to create a clean growth innovation district, allowing us to work with partners to develop the technology and processes the green economy needs.
We will invest in facilities and expertise to minimise energy consumption and reduce our carbon footprint.
We will help businesses and organisations to understand and deliver clean growth for sustainability and competitive advantage.
We will prioritise and deliver on clean growth issues by responding to local needs and engaging with communities, close to our campuses.
The university has unique research, assets and capabilities which position us strongly in delivering clean growth. Our expertise in education, enterprise and innovation include:
Energy and resource efficiency, waste, and transportation and distribution, with a specialist focus on manufacturing and food and farming systems.
Our clean growth demonstrator and living lab based at Ryton in Warwickshire will:
- Build upon the heritage of Ryton related to agroecology and food production
- Incorporate a business development hub for knowledge exchange, enterprise and entrepreneurship
- Be a space for research and innovation
- Be a home for education and community engagement
- And showcase our latest projects and initiatives
Coventry University will demonstrate how society can tackle climate change and achieve clean growth, by providing a truly sustainable path for our collective future.
