International Green Gown Awards

The International Green Gown Awards are supported by UN Environment and are open to any university or college across the world.
The Awards are truly unique and recognise institutions delivering world-class leadership in sustainability. They have a global reach and offer an opportunity to engage the world’s 200 million higher and further education students in the sustainability initiatives that can help them tackle a world characterised by rapid change and uncertainty.
The Awards are free to enter and, as an SDG champion, they offer an ideal opportunity to give your sustainability work global impact.

Is your institution the most sustainable institution of the year?
Is your institution benefitting society?
Is your institution empowering students?
Endorsed by UN Environment, we are looking for inspirational sustainability leaders. Recognising exceptional sustainability initiatives being undertaken by the world’s universities and colleges, the International Green Gown Awards set the bar and put every learning institution at the heart of delivering the UN Global Goals.

The 2019 Awards are now open for applications. There is no limit on the number of applications or categories each institution can enter. Entry is free of charge.

The International Green Gown Awards are administered by the Environmental Association for Universities and Colleges (EAUC).
