In late 2020, NTU’s Head of Sustainability presented to the Environmental Strategy Working Group (ESWG - A Nottinghamshire Wide partner group that includes members from each Nottinghamshire district, Nottingham City and County Council, the Midlands Energy Hub and both Nottingham Universities) on the success of the Green Rewards platform.ĮWSG thought the platform would be a beneficial tool for driving positive behaviour change with residents, especially in light of the Carbon Neutral commitments partners were making.Īfter some research, a proposition was put forward to all the Nottinghamshire Partners that they all work together to launch a County/City wide Green Rewards platform, that would be available to residents in late October, in time for COP26. The platform proved a success which allowed NTU to demonstrate its achievements which led to a Green Rewards programme being adopted by the University of Nottingham. The platform was designed to incentivise and encourage university staff and students to undertake positive environmental behaviour change and was aligned to the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development goals. In February 2019, Nottingham Trent University (NTU) were the first partner to launch the Green Rewards platform. Nine local Councils in Nottinghamshire have joined forces with local universities and creator Jump to create a trailblazing partnership to provide a platform to Notts residents helping them to accumulate points for activities they can undertake to lower their carbon footprint whilst helping to tackle Climate Change.
