Edinburgh Earth Initiative

Edinburgh Earth Initiative is supporting academics and staff across the University of Edinburgh to integrate nature-based and outdoor learning into their teaching practice to enhance sustainable education outcomes.

The Edinburgh Earth Initiative is accelerating the University of Edinburgh’s response to the climate crisis. Working with our academics, students, staff, and partners, we help ensure the University of Edinburgh is at the leading edge of climate research, teaching, innovation and action.

Rooted in a commitment to justice and equity – the University of Edinburgh’s engagement with climate and ecological emergency is built around three core pillars: land and marine based ecosystems; global energy futures; and health in a warming world.
