Griffith’s sustainability strategies support staff, students and our partners working together to reach the SDGs.
The SDGs are an interconnected set of priorities that require collaboration for progress. We can all work together to make a difference.
There are lots of ways staff and students can engage with sustainability initiatives at Griffith. We invite all staff and students to share their achievements—big and small, get involved, and support the SDGs. Find out what you can do below.
