ABOUT OUR SUSTAINABILITY

Sustainability

Learn about the ways the festival is becoming more sustainable.

 

World Science Festival Brisbane is committed to improving our environmental sustainability.

 

In 2024 a greenhouse gas (GHG) assessment was undertaken for the Brisbane and regional events to provide a baseline understanding of our climate change impacts. The assessment will assist us in prioritising actions with the greatest environmental and financial benefit and strive for sustainability strategies that are effective and measurable.

 

We have big goals for the future – and we’re taking steps each year to make sure we reach our sustainability targets. We hope you can join in, and if we all do a little bit more each year, the future will be bright!

You can help us reduce the environmental impacts of the event with a bit of pre-planning.


Active travel
Check out the public transport timetables for your area and plan your journey.  Leave the car at home –  if you can, ride a bike!


Bring a cup or a water refill bottle (or both!)
Everyone knows that coffee from a reusable cup tastes so much better.


Use the right bin
Please make sure the right items end up in the right bin.  We want to divert precious resources from landfill, and reduce emissions from landfill.
