Why this campaign?

The case for going
plant-based at Ulster

What is the problem?

57% of food emissions come from animal products

Food systems are responsible for around a third of all global greenhouse gas emissions, and animal products are the dominant driver. Meat and dairy alone generate more emissions than all the world's planes, ships, and cars combined. Every meal Ulster University serves is a choice between perpetuating this crisis or being part of the solution.

What can we do?

Thousands of meals/day served at Ulster University

Every plate is a decision Ulster University makes and can change. Ulster University has already committed to achieve net zero operational carbon emissions by 2040 (SDG13). Going 100% plant-based is one of the most visible, controllable ways to actually deliver on that promise.

Is that even possible?

University of Graz went fully plant-based. UU Belfast already has an entire plant-based hub - all campuses across Ulster University can be next!

The petition text

To The Vice-Chancellor and Senior Leadership at the University of Ulster

Plant-Based Universities is an international grassroots student campaign calling for universities to transition in a just and sustainable way to 100% plant-based catering. This institutional transition would significantly reduce the university’s own contribution to the climate crisis, in alignment with its sustainability goals (SDG12 & 13) and would also shift public opinion in favour of a fully plant-based food system. The campaign is currently active in over 100 universities in Europe and the United Kingdom. Through this petition, we ask Ulster University to be part of the transition towards a sustainable plant-based food system by transitioning to 100% plant-based catering. Universities produce much of the climate and ecological research so shifting towards plant based catering is already an ideology that aligns with this academic research. We are aiming for 500 signatures to show Ulster University that the students support this transition. Your support could make all the difference. Sign to help end the climate crisis and make Ulster University a truly just and sustainable university.
