Transition Heriot-Watt works with staff and students at Heriot-Watt University to support sustainability, carbon reduction & improved health and wellbeing.

Transition Heriot-Watt (THW) is a project representing the staff and student community at Heriot-Watt University. Based at the Edinburgh Campus, we work with staff and students to support sustainability, carbon reduction and improved health and wellbeing. Our projects are focused on energy, reuse, sustainable travel, growing food and food waste. THW is funded by the Scottish Government’s Climate Challenge Fund (CCF): www.climatechallengefund.org.

The Transition Heriot-Watt team is sad to announce that we have now left Heriot-Watt University at the end of our funding. We have had an amazing time on campus, working with wonderful students and staff, and will miss inspiring sustainability here.

If you have any questions please contact [email protected], which will be checked regularly. This page will remain active under the Estates team :)

Stay tuned to the Heriot-Watt Sustainability Society, Heriot-Watt University Student Union, Chaplaincy, Heriot Watt, the Estates team and others for future sustainability projects!

We wish the entire university community all the best and we hope to see you in the future. Stay green!

Rachael, Rizki, Tony and Lorraine.
