In October 2021, the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) Australia, New Zealand and Pacific Youth branch brought together university students from across the AusNZPac region who were representatives of student groups, clubs and societies. This included many student leaders working to create climate action in their own communities. Together, they workshopped the top priority climate action goals and support needs that students want from their university.

This statement includes:

• Background information
• Five goals students want their university to achieve
• Five support needs students want their universities to supply to ensure their climate projects are effective
• A list of ways staff and students can use this statement to drive change.
