We recognise there is a climate emergency. As a central London adult learning community we are responding by implementing a Sustainability Action Plan inspired by the United Nation\u2019s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mayor of London\u2019s ambition for the capital to be a net zero-carbon city by 2030 includes adult education providers setting out plans for achieving net zero-carbon estates by 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Estates Strategy has sustainability and inclusion at its heart. We are using automated ventilation and heating, carbon offsetting (through use of solar panels), recycled materials (furniture and building materials), increased cycle parking and accessible design to improve the usability and overall life cycle of our buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These actions in support of sustainability can be seen in practice at our latest redevelopment project at our North Kensington Centre for Skills.<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Morley is well on the way to becoming an established college as defined by the Climate Commission for UK Higher and Further Education. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means ensuring that sustainability is integrated in our curriculum and physical learning environment, and that there are meaningful opportunities for students to get involved and help drive the agenda.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Sustainability Steering Group is overseeing progress in the implementation of our Action Plan, taking forward a defined set of practical initiatives that includes: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
