Green Week started in 2003 to honour the late Professor Simon Perry, who started the College Recycling and Environment Committee, now known as the Green Campus Committee. After his untimely passing in 2002, the Green Campus Committee decided to hold the first Trinity Green Week in his honour, and the College’s Green Week has grown in strength every year since.

Green Week 2026 will run from 9th-13th March where we will have dozens of events that span a wide range of topics, from circular economy to biodiversity to climate action to activism and health, we hope there is something there for everyone.

We will celebrate the sustainable leaders among us at the fourth annual Sustainability Leadership Awards, learn about the biodiversity on campus with Collie Ennis and enjoy a daily swap shop with The Sustainable Life School. We have talks that range from climate mis/disinformation, careers panels, greening Pearse Street and active travel activism.

We will launch a new secure bike parking unit at Trinity Centre for Health Sciences at St James's and repair bikes for free on campus with Dara Mc Galey of the Cycle Clinic. We will have an outing to the The Rediscovery Centre, and give useful items new life with Dublin Maker Jeffrey Roe.

And this is just a snapshot of the week! Please see the full calendar of events here.

We hope to see you there!
