At King’s we believe that we all have a responsibility to reduce our carbon footprint and to encourage others to do so. We have seen gradual and sustained reductions in our energy use over recent years, and new buildings have been constructed to efficient Passivhaus standards. Within the College we try to use local produce and to recycle wherever possible, and work with students through a sustainability committee to encourage everyone to play their part.
The College is committed to improving its environmental sustainability at every level of its institutional operation.
Since 2020 the College’s Back Lawn has been converted into a colourful wildflower meadow stretching from the Chapel to the Cam.
King's has undertaken a wide variety of initiatives to promote biodiversity and tackle the nationwide decline of pollinators.
