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 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.

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.
