Carbon neutral events
Reduce the environmental footprint of your event
The University supports carbon neutral events on campus through the Carbon Neutral Events Guide.
This guide helps staff and students to measure the emissions generated by their events, identify ways to reduce them, and offset any remaining emissions using the University’s reserve of carbon credits.
By following the guide, event organisers can ensure their activities contribute to UWA’s commitment to sustainability and climate responsibility.
Sustainable Campus Program
Create a greener campus with us
The Sustainable Campus Program fosters a culture of sustainability at UWA by supporting practical, measurable initiatives across laboratories, workplaces, and residences.
The program empowers our community to reduce environmental impact, increase awareness, and take collective responsibility for a more sustainable future. It includes:
Green Labs (LEAF)
UWA has adopted Laboratory Efficiency Assessment Framework (LEAF), to help research laboratories reduce their environmental footprint by improving waste management, energy and water efficiency, and procurement practices.
Green Residences
Green Residences support students living in UWA’s residential colleges and accommodation to embrace sustainable living practices. Sustainability is embedded into residential life, including orientation and events, ensuring that students are supported to make sustainable choices every day.
Green Workplaces
Green Workplaces encourages staff to create environmentally responsible office spaces by adopting low-barrier, high-impact behaviours. The program invites workplaces to take part in cross-office challenges and campaigns, fostering friendly competition and collaboration.
