How this will be achieved
In order to achieve these goals UL has recently ratified a detailed set of Environmental Protocols for all areas of its activity and in 2011.
In addition, UL has also joined (2011) the international ?Green Metric? rankings initiative (http://greenmetric.ui.ac.id/) which allows universities in both the developed and developing world to compare their efforts towards campus sustainability and environment friendly university management.
The current version of the UL Strategic plan ?Pioneering and Connnected? is available at www2.ul.ie/pdf/521283169.pdf
