The GUPES Green Gown Awards are a joint initiative supported by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Environmental Association for Universities and Colleges (EAUC) that expands the Green Gown Awards further across the globe through the Global Universities Partnership on Environment and Sustainability (GUPES) network of over 800 universities and colleges. This exciting partnership with GUPES recognises universities and colleges as leaders in sustainability as well as being able to continue their learning from global leaders. The GUPES Green Gown Awards are open to GUPES Members across 6 regions. Applications are equally welcomed from institutions. Each GUPES region has pre-selected the category that features the region’s most prominent progress and achievements.
