Green Week
Our annual festival of eco ideas, events and planet-friendly living.
Our annual showcase of green initiatives
Green Week is a collaboration between UWE Bristol and The Students’ Union at UWE, celebrating the actions we are taking together to tackle climate change, protect nature and make progress towards a more sustainable future.
The week’s events provide opportunities to explore new ideas, connect with others, and try out practical ways of making a difference.
As well as highlighting what’s happening across the University, Green Week also showcases collaborations with local organisations working in sustainability, explores pathways into green jobs and raises awareness of local enterprises driving innovation in the green sector.
There are many ways for students and staff to get involved in sustainability at UWE Bristol – Green Week is just one of them.
