We are delighted to reveal the Winners of the 2022 International Green Gown Awards, in association with Allianz Global Investors.
The winners were announced on 6th July 2022 as part of the United Nations High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development.
The International Green Gown Awards are endorsed by United Nations Environment Programme and are supported by The Association of Commonwealth Universities (ACU), L’Agence universitaire de la Francophonie (AUF) and International Association of Universities (IAU).
Matt Christensen, Global Head of Sustainable and Impact Investing at Allianz Global Investors, says,
“Creating a more sustainable future goes beyond combating climate change. It is about protecting our environment, fostering biodiversity, and ensuring that we make this important transition without leaving anyone behind. It is therefore critical that all of us – companies, academia, and policymakers – work together to solve the challenges we are facing. Every action counts. Seeing the ideas submitted to this year’s International Green Gown Awards gives me the confidence that we will not run out of sustainable investment opportunities in the future. We are pleased to be a partner to support and recognise such an inspiring group of entrepreneurs.”
Fiona Goodwin, CEO (Interim), EAUC and Green Gown Awards Secretariat, says,
“We are delighted to announce our 2022 winners! We hope that universities and colleges from all around the world will take inspiration from their example and raise the bar on climate action. From India to Colombia to Malaysia and Canada and many more, our winners show how important it is for universities and colleges to tackle the climate and biodiversity crisis. With such fantastic projects we are already looking forward to hearing from many more institutions in 2023!”
