Sustainability

We have launched a new plan that will see UNSW build on, embed and deepen our commitment to environmental sustainability.

Campus development is an opportunity to provide regenerative places for learning and work that minimise the use of natural resources in their construction and operation.

Waste is the most visible environmental issue on campus and tackling single-use plastics is a key priority for the UNSW community.

22 April 2020 is the fiftieth anniversary of Earth Day. It is going digital this year so we can unite online for 24 hours of action. 

UNSW Sydney has taken another step to reduce single-use plastic waste by installing 10 new water refill stations across Kensington, Paddington and Randwick campuses.

UNSW Sydney will add to its credentials as a world-leader on climate science, renewable energy and sustainability by moving away from investment in fossil fuels.
