The University of Warsaw (UW) has been shortlisted as a finalist in the global International Green Gown Awards 2023, with UW being awarded for its “Green Thinking Matter Now!” project. It is an initiative that brings together academics, students, business representatives, authorities and NGOs around the issues of climate change and sustainable development.

The “Green Thinking Matter Now!” project is implemented by the Green Dialogue Platform, which coordinates research, involving practitioners in didactics, moderates dialogue, spreading knowledge, opening up space to ask environmentally relevant questions and seek answers. It is also one element of the UW’s ‘green transformation’.

The International Green Gown Awards are presented annually by the Environmental Association for Universities and Colleges: the Alliance for Sustainability Leadership in Education, which is supported by, among others, the UN Environmental Programme and key higher education organisations worldwide.
