Environmental Student Groups
NUS’ environmental student groups play a big part in promoting environmental sustainability both on and off campus, acting as a catalyst for change by heightening awareness of various sustainability issues such as climate change, resource conservation and biodiversity.
There are currently more than 20 environmental student groups in NUS striving towards environmental sustainability in their respective communities. If you are an NUS student looking to get involved with sustainability, consider joining one of the many student-run environmental clubs, organisations and initiatives on campus.
