Stewardship and Sustainability

At Notre Dame, we are committed to helping achieve the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The 17 goals are an urgent call for action by all countries - developed and developing - in a global partnership. They recognise that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth; all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests.

Walking

To plan your walking or cycle route, use 'Walk it. Ride it.'

'Walk it. Ride it.' makes it easier for people in Leeds to access walking, wheeling, and cycling opportunities. Spending time outside and moving around can help improve our mood, lower stress, and make us feel more relaxed.
