Eco-Campus history

The Eco-Campus programme is the evolution of the international Eco-Schools programme at the tertiary level. Like Eco-Schools, it enables students to take the lead in integrating sustainability education across departments and disciplines with meaningful engagement and authentic learning linked to real-world challenges. 

In 2026, the programme is being implemented in 214 institutions and 19 countries.

From 2026, the Eco-Campus programme is being expanded as an approach to support the four pillars of the UN’s Greening Education Partnership.
