We, the undersigned register our opposition to all staff redundancies at London Metropolitan University and the consequent threat to courses and modules.   We endorse the aims of the 'Green Skills Manifesto' which address the twin crises of unemployment and climate change by advocating an expansion of education and skills training in further & higher education for green jobs.   We urge the University to support the Manifesto and also, as a sign of genuine commitment to Climate Week, (12th -16th March) to safeguard and develop its courses in the field of environment and sustainability.

The feedback I have received underlines how much these environmental programs mean to our collective future. I am currently reaching out to university leadership to ensure these perspectives are formally recognized in our ongoing discussions regarding staff retention and curriculum stability.

The growth of this petition highlights a shared commitment to protecting vital environmental education during a time of institutional transition. This momentum confirms that our community values the necessity of green skills and will continue to advocate for their place within the university.

This is so shortsighted. We really need these skills for the future, not cuts.
