About TU Dublin's Green-Campus programme
TU Dublin has a long-running Green-Campus programme which dates back to 2014, which saw student- and staff-led Green-Campus Committees at Dublin Institute of technology (DIT), Institute of Technology Blanchardstown (ITB) and Institute of Technology Tallaght (ITT).
TU Dublin successfully followed the Green-Campus 7 Steps approach and in 2023 was awarded the An Taisce Green Flag for all five campus locations.
We are in the process of renewing our Green Flag award, which will see Transport & Travel and Biodiversity as major themes, and Litter & Waste, and Energy as minor themes.
TU Dublin's Green-Campus programme works to advance environmental action projects across our campuses (e.g. Green-Campus Open Call projects) and supports environmental education by engaging our community in events like Climate Action Week and Green Week and by integrating campus environmental action into modules and programmes.
New Green-Campus structure
The operation of the Green-Campus Committee, and Green-Campus Network, will be supported by Societal Engagement and Sustainability Teams who will coordinate Green-Campus reporting to An Taisce, the delivery of events, and enable Green-Campus connectivity to Campus & Estates and other functional areas in TU Dublin.
TU Dublin's Green-Campus Committee
The purpose of the TU Dublin Green-Campus Committee is to enable the partnership approach
to environmental education, management and action required to enhance sustainability on TU
Dublin’s campuses where partnership is the foundation of TU Dublin’s participation in the Green-Campus Programme. Furthermore, the Green-Campus Committee act as the steering group of
the TU Dublin Green-Campus Living Lab, to optimise the impact of Green-Campus activity.
TU Dublin's Green-Campus Network
The Green-Campus network has over 150 members and is be present at each campus location. Students and staff are encouraged to sign up for membership.
What is involved with Green-Campus Network membership?
The new Green-Campus Network will be made up of students and staff from across the University. They will be welcome to attend meetings and activities arranged to support the Green-Campus Network.
A word of thanks to former Green-Campus Co-Chair
TU Dublin, together with the Green-Campus Committee, would like to extend our gratitude to the outgoing Green-Campus Co-Chairs, Ariel Calajarte and Asfand Bakht Yar, who held the position since May 2025 providing valuable contributions to strategic decisions made by the Committee, promoting and participating in Green-Campus activities and chairing Green-Campus meetings.
