In conversation with Harriet Waters, Head of Environmental Sustainability, University of Oxford

Harriet Waters has been Head of Environmental Sustainability at the University of Oxford since 2013. She is responsible for the delivery of the University’s recently adopted environmental sustainability strategy. Harriet ensures that sustainability projects at the University are carried out in collaboration with academic staff, practitioners, students and external organisations. Prior to working in the Higher Education sector, she worked in ethical investment and consultancy. Harriet is a Chartered Environmentalist, a keen cyclist and loves cooking, particularly if she can use food grown in her edible garden.

We have both known Harriet for many years and loved an excuse to have this thoughtful conversation about the importance of a nourishing support network, how vital timing can be, ways of tackling the thorniest sustainability challenges (hello business flights!) and what we can learn from the way Oxford University developed its Sustainability Strategy.

We also talk about the loneliness of sustainability leaders, the importance of keeping plans warm and decarbonisation finances.

We are sharing our conversations about sustainability to help you start your own.
