\"\"<\/p>\n

After increasingly stark\u00a0scientific warnings<\/a>\u00a0and unprecedented mass mobilisations of\u00a0school children<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0rebellious citizens<\/a>, the climate crisis is finally starting to be acknowledged in the halls of decision making. The UK has now committed to achieving net zero emissions\u00a0by 2050<\/a>, mirroring momentum in\u00a0France<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0rest of the EU<\/a>\u00a0for similar targets.<\/p>\n

But there\u2019s a long way to go yet. Government targets to date still\u00a0vastly underestimate<\/a>\u00a0the urgency of the climate crisis. And in terms of concrete action, the world is way off; based on current policy plans,\u00a0the science<\/a>indicates that we\u2019re heading for a world that will be three to four degrees hotter by 2100.<\/p>\n

As the source of much of the very research that has alerted us to the true scale of the crisis we face, it is up to universities to take the lead in showing society how to act on it. If they don\u2019t, then how can they justify taxpayers funding the research in the first place?<\/p>\n

Leading the way<\/h4>\n

Such leadership starts with rallying behind a zero carbon target that takes climate breakdown seriously. The UN recently released a\u00a0key report<\/a>\u00a0on the catastrophic effects of letting global heating rise above 1.5\u2103 \u2013 in which university academics played a major role. But according to the report, aiming for net zero by 2050 still gives us a 50% chance of temperatures rising above this dangerous level.<\/p>\n

And even this risky percentage is based on the whole world going zero carbon by this date. To address the murky economic injustice of climate breakdown, countries that have long\u00a0benefited<\/a>\u00a0from exploiting the fossil fuel resources of poorer countries need to decarbonise much sooner than 2050. As privileged institutions facing pressure to confront\u00a0colonial biases<\/a>, universities in these countries should champion a zero carbon target of\u00a02035<\/a>. Such a target would both respect the\u00a0severity of their own scientific findings<\/a>, and allow those who have\u00a0suffered<\/a>\u00a0from\u00a0oily geopolitics<\/a>\u00a0to decarbonise at a slower pace.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In fact, some\u00a0already have<\/a>\u00a0set targets of 2035 or earlier \u2013 but that doesn\u2019t mean that their job is done. Universities,\u00a0like governments<\/a>, are guilty of creative carbon accounting that diminishes the true value of even seemingly impressive targets.<\/p>\n

In reporting only emissions from fuels burnt on site, and electricity and heat utility bills, most paint an incomplete picture of their full emissions burden. Universities must create a culture of honest accounting by including the hefty carbon costs of areas such as travel and transport (often accounting for\u00a0more than a quarter<\/a>\u00a0of universities\u2019 emissions) and food, and then set about reducing them.<\/p>\n

This means spending money directly on reducing emissions, and avoiding the use of\u00a0popular<\/a>\u00a0carbon offsets, which palm off emissions reductions to\u00a0poorer, low-emitting countries<\/a>. Some universities have already claimed to be \u201ccarbon neutral\u201d or close to it, but their substantial use of offsets in reality reveals a prioritisation of green branding over concrete action.\u00a0Evidence<\/a>\u00a0from academics indicates that offsets almost never actually reduce emissions, and may in some cases be\u00a0worse than doing nothing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Universities must therefore focus efforts on achieving\u00a0real zero<\/a>, not net zero. Unlike industries such as\u00a0steel, cement<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0aviation<\/a>, which are difficult to decarbonise, the vast majority of university emissions are relatively easy to cut.<\/p>\n

Switching to\u00a0genuinely<\/a>\u00a0renewable energy as well as systematically implementing energy-saving measures such as heat pumps and insulation can slash energy use. Frequent air travel for conferences and field trips is clearly\u00a0inconsistent with decarbonisation<\/a>, and there is no excuse for universities not to replace travel with remote participation wherever possible, and support slower, less polluting options where necessary. Taking beef and lamb\u00a0off the university menu<\/a>\u00a0is also an important and urgent step.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As hubs of scientific innovation, universities must also redouble efforts to find new ways of decarbonising \u2013 and, importantly, integrate these efforts with the local communities they are often so intimately linked to. Creating new economies and ways of living will be essential in the journey to zero emissions, and projects such as the\u00a0Place-based Action Network<\/a>\u00a0have already begun to show how local cooperation can build an inclusive and coordinated path away from fossil fuels.<\/p>\n

To ensure broad buy in to what will inevitably be tough changes ahead, universities must actively engage with and listen to these communities, as well as staff and students at all levels. Universities are not just innovators but educators too, and have a vital role in ensuring that when students and staff leave university they\u2019re less likely to exacerbate the climate crisis, not more \u2013 no matter what they study or teach.<\/p>\n

Finally, universities must fully and unconditionally divest from all fossil fuels. Despite widespread support for divestment among staff,\u00a0UK<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0US<\/a>\u00a0universities alone have billions of pounds still invested in the industry. Continued support for fossil fuel companies is not compatible with the climate emergency that academic research has illuminated \u2013 and universities would do well to question whether maintaining research ties or student placements with such companies is either.<\/p>\n

I am proud to be a part of a network of institutions with a long history of using research to create a better world. But as the world faces its gravest existential threat, these institutions urgently need to marry words with action. Anything less undermines the integrity of their work.<\/p>\n

Without the work of universities, we would not have been awakened to the climate emergency. If even they then ignore the teachings of their research, how on Earth can we expect anyone else to act?<\/p>\n
