LSESU are host to several sustainability/environment focussed societies, have a peruse and see if there are any that you’d like to get involved with!
In their different ways, these societies are working with LSE and the Student Union to respond to the global climate emergency, be it through tackling topics such as zero-waste living or biodiversity.
Whichever society you join, you'll be playing an active role in creating a more sustainable future and learning key skills that will no doubt be helpful after your time at LSE.
Sustainable Futures Society works to increase the sustainable practices of the LSE by working jointly with staff and students on environmental initiatives. We also administer up to £20,000 through the Sustainable Projects Fund (more information here) each year, that gives out funding for sustainable projects at LSE. As part of Sustainable Futures, you can also get involved with Foodcycle, helping avoid food waste on campus and in halls by implementing initiatives and donating food to charities.
Bringing together like-minded people to promote informal discussion and debate about Geography and Environment. Join them for a range of exciting events, opportunities, trips and talks.
The Energy Society connects students with an interest in learning more about, and connecting with, the energy field. Last year saw a hackathon with over 90 attendees, plus opportunities to make connections in energy as well as interlinked sectors such as Finance and Politics.
Launched in 2022, Urban+ was founded to inspire discussion on urban planning and initiatives to improve urban spaces and achieve sustainability. They organise local guided tours and visits in London, allowing members to gain deeper insights into the history and future of the city from an urban perspective, and host a wide variety of workshops and seminars.
LSE Bees has two beehives on campus. As part of the Beekeeping Society, you get the opportunity to experience beekeeping: visiting and looking after the hives. In addition, the society is responsible for labelling and selling LSE honey, spreading awareness of the importance of bees, as well as hosting un’bee’lievable social events!
The society aims to educate students on the role of green finance in climate adaptation and mitigation efforts, and to understand the role of environmental risk in financing. From panel events to industry crash courses, oh, and socials of course!
Climate justice examines concepts such as equality, human rights, collective rights, and the historical responsibilities for climate change. Do you want to learn more on this topic, and get involved in exciting discussions to try and find solutions? Join us!
Moving away from our current linear economy model to a circular economy model (where waste is designed out, and nature is regenerated) would have massive benefits for the wellbeing of our planet, tackling global challenges such as waste, biodiversity loss and pollution. Join the Circular Economy society for exciting talks and challenges around this theme.
EcoSoc campaigns on a range of climate related issues to incentivise individuals and organisations to become more sustainable in their everyday life and care for their environment. Events include debates, beach cleans, vegan cooking challenges, eco-career events, film screenings and more.
Our mission is to bring the social sciences and the ocean closer together through conservation, environmentalism and fun! Whether you love sailing, surfing, diving, swimming or long walks on the beach, this is the place for you.
The LSE SU Animals' Society is a family of animal lovers, a community of conscience, and a place to foster and spread awareness, discussion, and social change.
We are a community of like-minded LSE students, seeing a plant-based lifestyle as a solution to many environmental, health and (social) justice issues. Activities will include visiting restaurants together, having discussion and movie nights and joining inter-uni events with VegSocs from other London universities.
