Education for Sustainability (EfS)

The University of Melbourne’s Vision for Education for Sustainability is:

"To develop graduates who will lead change for a sustainable future"

What is EfS and how is the University responding to it?

EfS Commitments & Drivers

Our Sustainability Team has worked with The Graduate School of Business and Economics to promote and embed sustainable business practices within the curriculum.

A recent collaboration between GSBE and Property &Campus Services Sustainability Unit involved four graduate students with backgrounds in tax, finance and IT undertaking an in-house practicum to investigate the impact of air travel on the University’s emissions profile, and to develop recommendations for measuring and managing these impacts.


Projects involving the Sustainability Unit have included:
