LSE achieved a ‘Highly Commended’ award in a ceremony held on 5th November at the University of Birmingham. The Green Gowns are the most prestigious recognition of environmental achievement in the Higher and Further Education sector.
The School’s entry was the ‘Sustainable Projects Fund’, which funds student and staff-led environmental projects on campus with a 10p ‘tax’ on bottled water sold at LSE catering outlets, and is run by the LSE Sustainable Futures Society.
The judges commented: “This is an innovative and well administered funding model… Successful applicants to the Fund gain a wide range of experience through managing the implementation of their ideas.”
