Green Guide for Universities

IARU pathways towards sustainability

Universities have the opportunity to create cultures of sustainability for today’s students and tomorrow’s leaders, and to set their expectations for how the world should be. In providing real-world examples of environmental, financial, and social successes, IARU hopes to inspire innovation and creative action in universities around the globe.

The IARU Green Guide for Universities, jointly developed by the ten IARU universities and the international think-tank Sustainia, presents key issues, recommendations and lessons learned by IARU universities. It addresses the challenges and opportunities of campus sustainability, with a particular focus on environmental aspects. The guide includes 23 inspiring cases that have made a difference at the IARU universities.
