THE University of Winchester has pledged to reduce its carbon footprint.
It has joined a Carbon Trust programme specially designed for universities which aims to collectively reduce their carbon footprint by 72,000 tonnes and energy costs by £8.1m.
The university has joined 17 other universities nationwide - including Southampton University - to take part in the Carbon Trust's Higher Education Carbon Management Programme.
Now the Carbon Trust is working with the university to identify and implement carbon saving opportunities Tommy Geddes, pro vice-chancellor of the University of Winchester said: "Through working in close partnership with the Carbon Trust we will establish an energy strategy.
"We are looking forward to making a major contribution to the city of Winchester's campaign to cut its carbon emissions and combat climate change."
