Student Ambassadors
We are developing a thriving Student Ambassadors programme, empowering students to take action for nature on their campuses towards Nature Positive and share experiences and resources with other students across the world. You can connect with us directly as a student, or as part of a team at your institution.
2024 Webinar series
The 2024 Nature Positive Universities webinar series was a series of six webinars for members of the NPU network to learn more about the work member institutions have been undertaking in several key areas of biodiversity action, and take inspiration from their work.
All webinars in this series have now taken place and can be viewed on our Youtube channel.
University Staff
The staff responsible for managing university grounds and facilities, estates and sustainability teams, procurement and catering all have an important role to play in addressing an institution’s impacts on nature. A working group with representatives at all levels and including management, academic experts and students is likely to be the best way to achieve long lasting change. Visit our resources page to see the latest tools and guidance to help you on your journey.
Collaborate with us
We are interested to link up with researchers, higher education, sustainability and youth networks to help scale our impact and explore new approaches to tackling shared problems. We are establishing Regional Hubs to provide support and develop communities of institutions working together to overcome common challenges. Please contact us to find your nearest Hub or to explore collaborations.
Staff Champions
‘Staff Champions’ is a social media series by Nature Positive Universities which aims to honour those who go above and beyond in their work towards a nature positive goal. Through this series, we will showcase individuals from different institutions around the world and celebrate their amazing work.

Resources
We are developing tools and guidance for each stage of the Nature Positive Pledge. We will provide links to all reports and documentation here as we develop them. We encourage you to make the Pledge and join the other Founding universities who are starting this journey. We would love to hear how you have approached each aspect of the Pledge so we can share it with our wider network and inspire change.
