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.

UNSW Urban Growers has planted a new garden in the Barker St car park which will be for teaching, research, improving our wellbeing and greening our campus. 

Almost 200 UNSW staff and students got involved in being more sustainable in the way they travel, dispose of waste or save on electricity usage. First prize goes to: "PVCE Green Impact” from the Division of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor Academic.  

The purple prelude to summer’s warm weather has arrived. Take the UNSW Sydney Jacaranda Walk and see if you can find all 17 on campus.
