Welcome to UWA Green Impact 2022

What is Green Impact?

Green Impact is a fun and flexible voluntary program developed to support staff and student clubs in undertaking meaningful actions to make UWA a healthy and sustainable campus.

Check out our 2019, 2020 and 2021 Green Impact reports below for information on the program’s impact and achievements over the last three years!

How does the Program work at UWA?

UWA Staff and Student Clubs are invited to create teams among themselves, and get creative to tackle sustainability issues, compete with other teams across the University, and receive recognition for their achievements.
