Environmental Student Groups
At NUS, students are at the heart of sustainability action.
Over the years, more than 20 environmental student groups have sprung up, each championing different sustainability causes – from countering climate change and conserving resources to preserving biodiversity and promoting simple initiatives for managing waste.
With so many student groups to choose from, there are plenty of ways for students to get involved, grow their passion, and help shape a more sustainable future for NUS and beyond.
