RMIT Sustainability Week 2025

Overview

Sustainability Week is RMIT’s flagship annual event. In Vietnam, building on the success of the 2024 edition, this week-long celebration is designed to inspire action, spark dialogue, and strengthen RMIT’s leadership in advancing sustainability across Vietnam and the region. 

With this year's theme Sustainability in Action, we brings together students, staff, industry partners, and the wider community through workshops, showcases, and activities, the event highlights the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and RMIT’s 7Rs Culture (RMIT: Going Beyond Rethink, Refuse, Reduce, Reuse, Repair, and Recycle), empowering participants to embrace sustainable practices and drive collective impact. 

Be the Spark. Lead the Future.
