The week of action and education for environmental sustainability brought together more than 1,000 people from across the five TU Dublin campus locations and their communities to collaborate in more than 40 events and activities which focused on taking local and national action.

The volume and diversity of events co-created by students, staff, community groups, NGOs and industry partners during the week-long initiative highlights the scaling up of innovation and action to help lower the University's carbon emissions, protect local biodiversity, and enhance our campus and local environment.

Shared Impact

Universities can act as a neutral space for people to discuss and debate complex global issues like climate change, climate injustice, and the biodiversity loss crisis. The diversity of thinkers, educators, researchers, and advocates within a University, like TU Dublin, contribute meaningful ideas and impactful solutions to tackling these challenges across all levels of third level education. 

TU Dublin opens its doors to the wider community during Green Week, and this year the University collaborated with 12 community and industry partners across events.

Green Week at TU Dublin strengthens our commitment to environmental sustainability and deepens our connections with our university community. The week of action supports many of the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), in particular; SDG 4: Quality Education, SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities,  SDG 12: Sustainable Consumption and Production, SDG 13: Climate Action, SDG 14: Life Below Water, SDG 15: Life on Land and SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals.
