2025 International Green Gown Awards finalists announced

16th June 2025

The finalists of the 2025 International Green Gown Awards have now been announced. 
 
97 finalists from 27 countries and 59 institutions made this year's shortlist in 8 categories. 

Now in their 11th year, the awards recognise the outstanding sustainability projects being implemented in educational institutions around the world.

From cutting carbon to engaging communities, the list represents some of the most exciting, innovative and inspiring approaches to sustainability in our sector. 

A key aim of the awards is to encourage the sharing of sustainability work, effective practice and learning amongst institutions. Applicants are therefore asked to submit further details about their projects and share their top three learnings. A showcase of the finalists' work and learnings will be launched in July. 

Winners and highly commended awards will be announced in October. 

The International Green Gown Awards are delivered by EAUC in partnership with ACTS, the International Association of Universities and the UN Environment Programme.
