Join UNSW for Climate Action Week Sydney

23 Feb 2026
Climate week

Learn, act and help UNSW accelerate the transition to a sustainable society and planet.

Climate Action Week (CAW) Sydney spotlights local action that fuels global momentum towards a net zero future. This year’s theme, ‘Change happens locally’, highlights how communities, campuses and cities drive climate impact.

In support of CAW, UNSW’s Environmental Sustainability team is hosting a series of events aligned with our UNSW Strategy: Progress for All – Pillar 6 (accelerating the transition to a sustainable society and planet). The week offers accessible ways for students and staff to build climate literacy, see campus solutions and take practical steps that matter.
