Abstract
Creating a green campus requires the involvement of all staff and often other stakeholders in the institution, in particular students. Their input is needed in helping define what type of green campus is needed for their context, in shaping the strategy for the university or college and most importantly for setting out all the ongoing tasks that are needed and who is responsible for implementing them. These tasks will often relate to four main sets of activities – leadership and governance; partnership and engagement; learning, teaching and research; and estates and operations. Everyone at all levels and working in one or more of these sets of activities will have some tasks and responsibilities that they need to exercise but key people in every unit or department will be needed to help develop, promote, and monitor those tasks that their unit or department has most responsibility for. Greening a campus takes time as the many changes will be needed to green these four sets of activities which also need to be coordinated and reported on both internally and externally to understand what works and what does not work.
