La Trobe regional campuses achieve Net Zero

Announcements 28-Sep-2023

This is the result of a significant $75 million commitment by the University in 2019 to become carbon neutral by 2029. The regional campuses achieved this target just three years later.

La Trobe University’s Pro Vice-Chancellor (Regional), Associate Professor Melanie Bish said she was immensely proud of the planning and innovation the University has undergone to achieve the ambitious carbon neutral status across its regional campuses.

“We have given ourselves 10 years to make the University carbon neutral and reaching net-zero across all of our regional campuses within three years is a testament to our leadership in this space,” Associate Professor Bish said.

“La Trobe has a long and proud history of pursuing sustainable practices and we are committed to being sustainable today and into the future.

“In addition to the environmental benefits, we anticipate substantial long-term cost savings as a result of these sustainable measures that have been implemented.”
