Organisations

Student Hubs is part of a larger movement of organisations helping to engage students with building a more equitable and sustainable future. They are...

People & Planet

P&P ampaign with students around the UK to end world poverty, defend human rights, and protect the environment. 

They spearhead the Green League Table which ranks universities according to their green credentials. This helps students and staff keep track of how well their university is doing in ensuring it becomes increasingly sustainable. People & Planet runs the Going Greener campaign to help universities become Transition Universities - ones that are low-carbon, low-energy, resilient, relocated, and community-led. They offer training to students on setting up food co-ops and home energy saving projects. And they run Go Green Week - a week of fun events and workshops to kickstart the university's transition.

People & Planet are also campaigning to ensure our universities are free of investments in the Tar Sands - the world's worst case of environmental destruction.
