Green Week was established in 2011, our student led initiative is supported by the Sustainability Team. This year Green Week falls during COP26 a crucial event for world leaders to support climate action. Our Green Week is supporting the need for immediate climate action, raising awareness and encouraging everyone at Greenwich to make their own changes for a more sustainable planet.
