A summary of this event together with the recording, chat transcript and presentations can be found here: https://sconul.ac.uk/knowledge-hub/sustainability/scope-3-webinar-3-may-2024/

We are bringing colleagues together to explore what the drive to reduce SCOPE 3 emissions means for our institutions and how we can work with our supply chain, our spaces and our people to drive the change we all need to see.

Led by the SCONUL project team on sustainability and the climate crisis, we will be hosting a webinar to provide an opportunity for those leading libraries to consider the implications of SCOPE 3 emissions requirements; to hear how colleagues in other libraries and sectors are approaching these challenges and to consider what actions we can take collectively to make change. There will an opportunity to colleagues to share practice and experience, to consider approaches and how potential barriers to change might be addressed.

The webinar will be held on Friday 3rd May from 2 – 4pm. E-mail sconul@sconul.ac.uk for the registration details.

Contributors will include:

• Dr Rachel Dunk, Principal Lecturer, & Christopher Paling, Senior Lecturer, Manchester Metropolitan University who will discuss what Scope 3 means for libraries.
• Rowan Williamson, Associate Director Library Services and Support, University of the Arts London who will present ‘Going for Net Zero at UAL Libraries – A case study’. UAL has declared themselves a social purpose University. Rowan will be talking about how they can channel this strategic commitment to create change. By empowering staff, challenging assumptions and using data they are driving change in their policy and practice, and actively seeking to influence behaviours beyond the institution.
