Sustainability

Student-led change for a more sustainable future and a closure community. We're passionate about empowering our members to help them raise awareness and take direct action for a more sustainable future at UWTSD and beyond. Our sustainability webpage is a celebration of their hard work and wins for the environment.

We won an award! - We're thrilled to say that the hard work of our members and team has been recognised! We've been awarded both Very Good and Most Improved Students' Union for 2023/24 by Students Organising for Sustainability. 


  • It's Student-led Change
    We are passionate about putting students at the helm - empowering them to deliver sustainability projects they are passionate about.

  • It's A More Sustainable Future
    Our students lead on projects across all our campuses to help both students and staff live more sustainable lives. 

  • It's A Closer Community
    Through their activities, campaigns, and events, our students are creating a closer community through participation and shared experiences.
