Our ongoing commitment to sustainability
The University of Adelaide has made significant progress on its sustainability initiatives as we approach the upcoming transition and transformation towards a combined new Adelaide University.
While we are on track to achieve some of the goals in our Sustainability Strategy 2030 – Here for good before the amalgamation with UniSA, we acknowledge that some commitments will require further conversation and collaboration to be fully realised.

Here for Good concert - certified carbon neutral event
The University of Adelaide is proud to have hosted its first Carbon Neutral certified event under the Climate Active Carbon Neutral Standard for Events. The free concert by Peter Garrett and the Alter Egos was enjoyed by many staff, students and the community, celebrating sustainability research and teaching efforts across the institution. The University is working towards the Climate Active Standard for Organisations in 2030 as detailed in our Sustainability Strategy 2030 – Here for good. This event was an opportunity for the University to measure emissions associated with the event and look for ways to reduce our impact at future events.
