NCC Goes Green 2025

NCC Goes Green 2025

NCC Goes Green is all about raising awareness, taking action, and making real changes for a greener future.

Across our campuses, students and staff will be getting involved in hands-on activities that highlight the importance of sustainability, from tackling fast fashion and reducing waste to rethinking our energy use and supporting local environmental initiatives.

How can students get involved?

• Take action by joining a litter pick or swapping pre-loved clothes at our ‘Clothes Swap’ events
• Get creative with upcycling projects like T-shirts to tote bags, origami, and green-themed jewellery making
• Make an impact by planting wildflowers, crafting bird feeders, and pledging to reduce your carbon footprint
• Get informed through sustainability and green jobs fairs, energy advice sessions and environmental documentary screenings
• Sign up to our extracurricular Carbon Literacy courses

Environmental Sustainability at NCC

New City College is committed to making a positive contribution to environmental sustainability. Our Green Strategy is aligned with the Climate Action Roadmap for FE Colleges.

We have made significant progress in our work over the past few years and report on it through our annual report:

We are making progress in reducing the carbon emissions that arise from our direct and indirect activities and are committed to continuing this work until we reach net zero.
