日期:2022年12月1日,雷克瑟姆-格林德沃大学已采取措施,支持未来可持续的劳动力队伍,成为威尔士第一所结束校园化石燃料招聘的大学。 该学院在北威尔士的三个校区共为7500名学生提供服务,并通过了一项道德职业政策,声明“不会与石油、天然气或矿业公司建立任何形式的关系,作为其提高可持续性和应对气候危机承诺的一部分”。 该大学表示,其职业和就业服务旨在促进有助于改善社会和环境的合作。 雷克瑟姆-格林大学运营部执行主任林达·鲍威尔表示:“作为我们正在进行的环境可持续发展战略的一部分,雷克瑟姆格林大学正在努力提高我们的环境绩效,并致力于为所有学生提供可持续发展教育。 “我们的职业道德政策是确保大学生有机会反思、理解和阐明自己价值观的关键。 这让毕业生有信心与价值观与自己一致的机构和组织保持一致。 “由于许多毕业生招聘人员采用基于价值观的选拔程序,这里采用的方法支持后代做出有意义的职业决策,以确保合适和有意义的就业。 “通过这一举措,我们支持未来可持续劳动力的发展,同时采取雄心勃勃的措施,实现威尔士政府到2030年公共部门净零排放的目标。 该大学是四所终止校园化石燃料招聘的大学之一,其他三所大学包括伦敦大学伯克贝克分校;贝德福德郡大学;伦敦艺术大学。 这场运动由学生领导的竞选慈善机构“人民与地球”协调,正在推动大学职业服务机构在气候和人权方面切断与石油、天然气和采矿业的联系,并声援受化石燃料开采影响最严重的社区。 无化石职业得到了教职员工和学生的支持,得到了英国最大的学生和教职员工机构全国学生联合会(nus)和大学和学院联合会(ucu)的官方支持。 人民与地球组织气候运动联合主任j clarke补充道:“雷克瑟姆-格林德沃大学在威尔士高等教育机构中的气候领导力应该得到认可。 “成为威尔士第一个采用无化石燃料职业的人,在全国大学界树立了一个强有力的先例,我们希望更多人也能效仿。 至关重要的是,我们的大学要用行动而不是言语表明,他们站在了气候正义的一边,而不是那些将我们推向气候危机更深层次的行业,这场危机首先伤害了最不负责任的人,也是最坏的人。 ”。
