Green Fortnight
Our annual festival of eco ideas, events and planet-friendly living.
Our annual showcase of green initiatives
Green Fortnight 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 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 Fortnight also showcases collaborations with local organisations working in sustainability and climate action, 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 Fortnight is just one of them.
Green Fortnight 2026
Green Fortnight 2026 takes place from Monday 2 November to Sunday 19 November 2026.
Activities will be announced soon, so watch this space.
Green Fortnight is all about learning, connecting and taking action towards a greener future.
