Description

The Low Carbon Devon project runs until mid-2023 supporting Devon-based enterprises to take action on reducing carbon through fully-funded practical support – including internships, access to University researchers and free access to events to inspire ambition and practical action.

We are funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and are based in the Sustainability Hub on the University of Plymouth’s city centre campus in the building behind this beautiful green wall!

As the need to take climate action becomes increasingly pressing, many enterprises are looking for support with how they can do this.


We have been supporting enterprises with knowledge and information to help them navigate the issues. The project is part of the University of Plymouth which has a reputation for excellence in sustainability. We have been able to tap into this talent, linking Devon enterprises with expertise within the University and hosting business-centric events around sustainability.

To find out more about our upcoming events visit our Sustainability Hub: Low Carbon Devon webpage or connect with us on Linkedin or on Instagram. The Sustainability Hub is also available for free hire so that people can come together for sustainability-related meetings, activities and events.
