1in5 is a framework to allow the academic community to focus some of its collective brainpower on climate and biodiversity
Support for 1in5

"being part of the 1in5 was a no-brainer, it required relatively little effort from staff and, because the model is fully open and run by academics, ideas can be shared and even supervisors with very little expertise in sustainability can run projects that students are excited about and find fulfilling. Critically, it’s not just a badge, but it directs a substantial resource in a joined-up way to build the evidence-base around action on the climate"

“The 1in5 project is a superb idea, providing the perfect opportunity for academic colleagues, post-graduate researchers, and undergraduate students to engage in this incredibly important topic”
Prof Andrew Stewart, Head of Department of Computer Science, School of Engineering, University of Manchester.

This is a tremendously exciting project. Students and staff care about the planet's problems, but don't know how to help. They also have to run projects, and are searching for topics to research. Solving both problems at the same time is genius, and shows us that everyone can make a difference. Hopefully staff and students alike will soon be sharing a range of behavioural #1in5 projects on to help others get started.

For me, what makes the 1in5 project so exciting is that it takes the concerns and helplessness that so many people (especially young people) feel about climate and uses these anxieties to fuel one of the largest-scale research endeavours we’ve ever seen in UK higher education. Just imagine the positive impact we can make, and the knowledge we can gain, by running tens of thousands of high-quality climate projects every year across the country. This is how you change the world.”
