Sustainability

The Capital Projects Sustainability Framework provides an alignment with the Environmental Sustainability Plan 2019-21 Focus Areas which define the commitments set out by UNSW.

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.

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.
