2024 Cup Wrap-up:
We always hope that each year of the Green Impact Cup will be ‘bigger and better’ than the previous year, but 2024 really has been our best year yet! For the first time ever, participants in the Green Impact Cup completed over 1000 sustainability actions throughout the month of July! We are so proud of the impressive commitment to sustainability in our region!
This year, 477 individuals across 150 teams across Australia and New Zealand participated in the competition, completing weekly challenges to earn valuable cup points. The competition was fierce, and it came down to one single point that separated first, second and third place! Green Eggs & STEM (Together) from CSIRO were crowned as the 2024 winners, followed closely by the School of Rural Health (University of Sydney).
We extend our heartfelt thanks to all the participants for their active involvement and passion in making the Green Impact Cup a resounding success. Not to mention our generous sponsors (check them out below) for providing some serious motivation for teams! All round your commitment to sustainability is inspiring, and together, we are shaping a greener and more sustainable future for our universities, communities, and beyond.
We can’t wait to see what the 2025 Green Impact Cup has to offer!
