Responding to the Climate Emergency. Details of how the College is responding to the climate emergency can be found on the College Sustainability Webpage which is updated on a regular basis. A key component of this response is the targets within the College Carbon Management Plan 2016-21 (CMP) to achieve a 10% reduction (530 tonnes) on CO2 emission by 2021. This was achieved during 2017-18 and as outlined in the 2019-20 Self Evaluation report, the College continues to make good progress in reducing the emissions it makes, despite a lower than required level of investment and an aging estate. The College has, during the past 12 months consolidated its waste contract, completed the roll out of Skype for Business, continued to educate its students on the impacts their decisions have on the climate and replaced more lights / fittings across all campuses with more efficient equipment. The challenge for 2020-21 and beyond is to take some of the actions required to address the global pandemic and ensure that the previous ‘sustainability bad habits’ do not return – travel to meetings when video conferencing is a suitable alternative, printing of materials given the work to move to digital delivery and home working to continue where possible thereby reducing the use of office space. All these challenges are being considered by the College as we move into 2021.

Responding to the Climate Emergency. ‌ With the 2019 declaration of a climate emergency by the Scottish Government, and the national commitment to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2045, Dundee and Angus College is committed within our Climate Action Plan to doing even more to reduce the carbon associated within our operations. Since signing up to the Universities and Colleges Climate Commitment for Scotland in 2009, the College has reduced its carbon footprint by c.62% (with reductions in carbon usage every year for over a decade). This success is attributable to significant investment in a range of sustainable technologies, along with very effective learner engagement approaches that enable us to successfully embed sustainability and social responsibility into all of our curriculum areas, underpinned by adoption of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The College has significantly reduced reliance on single use plastic from our operation via a range of radical initiatives, including the introduction of a Deposit Return Scheme. This has removed over 140,000 disposable cups and 20,000 plastic bottles per year from our waste stream and we continue to promote the circular economy by installing recycled plastic road surfaces across our estate. We have also reduced our use of fossil fuels, and now run a pool and minibus fleet of 11 EV cars and vans and 3 hybrid vehicles. We are encouraging staff to move away from fossil fuelled vehicles through the expansion of our own EV fleet and extension of our EV charging infrastructure. The College will introduce further renewable technologies and carbon reduction options as a core feature of our ambitious estates’ plans, including eliminating our reliance on gas and working towards zero landfill waste. The College is committed to the SDS Climate Emergency Skills Action Plan and will prioritise elements of our STEM delivery to support growth arising through new environmental technology opportunities in the Michelin Scotland Innovation Parc and the Scottish Government Green Jobs Fund. Our Climate Emergency Action Plan was published in November 2021 and includes a clear commitment for College operations (Scope 1 & 2 emissions) to be carbon neutral by 2030. This is in advance of national targets and outlines out commitment to address the climate emergency and impact of College operations as effectively as we can. Our Climate Emergency Action plan focuses on the importance of educational and cultural shift alongside changing technologies and processes to de...
