ANU Environmental Sustainability is part of Campus Environment and plays a key role in supporting the University’s commitment to sustainability. The team works on a wide range of initiatives aimed at reducing and minimising the environmental impact of university operations, including promoting energy efficiency, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and managing waste, water, biodiversity and conservation and climate risk. Through these projects, the team strives to support a more environmentally sustainable and resilient campus.
Strategy
ANU Green is the University's operational program for management of its environmental sustainability efforts. These efforts are being coordinated by our Environmental Management Plan, which has several short and medium-term objectives to assist the University in reaching its sustainability goals.
Governance
The University’s environmental sustainability governance structure is made up of three key groups who provide strategic direction and oversight and embeds initiatives into operations.
Staff
We have a small group of dedicated staff who drive the operationalisation of our environmental sustainability plans.
Reports and publications
The Environmental Sustainability team reports regularly throughout the year and hosts several publications from student projects.
The team has an online repository of these reports and publications, in addition to other publications from activities across the ANU Green programs.
Partnerships and alliances
At ANU, we recognise that collaboration is critical in developing solutions and increasing their impact. Partnerships and alliances with local, domestic and international stakeholders are essential to seeing the transformational change required to achieve our global sustainable development goals.
