Vision

We will be a university, a place, and a community where climate change and biodiversity loss are addressed in a holistic, integrated and health-focused way to protect and restore our planetary home for future generations.

Mission

Our mission is to tackle climate and biodiversity challenges for a healthy planet and healthy people through
our educational programmes, our research and innovation, and our day-to-day operations, both
within Trinity and in partnership with external collaborators and communities. 

Our Targets

Net Zero by 2040

The Irish Climate Action Plan requires public bodies to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 51% by 2030. Our first priority is to meet this target and work toward Net Zero by 2040.

Nature Positive by 2030

We will conserve, manage and restore at least 30% of our land area for nature, with emphasis on areas of particular importance that deliver benefits and values to people, and contribute to conservation and restoration beyond Trinity’s grounds.

Healthy Trinity by 2030

We will promote health by supporting a culture shift in behaviours that promote and recognise the interrelatedness of planetary and human health and well-being, including improved access to plant-based diets, increased active travel and enhanced mental health.
