Sustainability Week 2026: A week of action and inspiration
Posted on Monday 16 March 2026
Sustainability Week has wrapped for another year, and what a fantastic week it was! Across five days at the start of March, staff, students and partners came together for a packed programme of events celebrating the passion and commitment to sustainability across the University.
From film screenings and sustainability fairs to nature-focused activities, workshops and deeper explorations of sustainability in practice, the week highlighted how sustainability is being embedded across teaching, campus operations and research.
Some highlights from the week
- 660 people engaged directly with events
- 5 days celebrating sustainability across our University community
- 60 hours of activities to get involved in
- 29 events in total – 26 in person and 3 online
- 400+ people attended the York SU New Year, Same Planet Fair
A huge thank you to everyone who organised events, attended sessions, and supported the programme throughout the week. It’s encouraging to see so many staff and students engaging with sustainability and climate action.
If you attended an event (or even if you didn’t), we’d love your feedback to help shape Sustainability Week in the future.
