We are delighted to invite new members and open the renewals period for existing members of our Green Office program for 2027.
We design, support and catalyze action-oriented sustainability coalitions on campus and beyond, supporting a global network of inclusive structures for transformative education.
In recent years our global network and presence has grown considerably. Responding to this for 2027, we have launched a new core membership community for higher education institutions formed of Chapter instituions and Green Office members.
This new membership community combines the strength, reach and legacy of the Green Office Movement with new and emerging collaborative structures in higher education for sustainability via the Chapter institutions membership program.
We are delighted to maintain the familiar solidarity-based pricing structure, giving each member the opportunity to determine their membership category according to their own budget and resourcing. The bronze, silver and gold membership categories provide scaled support and benefits proportionate to the membership rate.
All member categories benefit from universal membership benefits including:
- Monthly newsletter: all the latest news and opportunities from across our global portfolio.
- Member networking webinars: 10 x 90-minute sessions per year (September – June). Webinar series themes match contemporary issues in higher education, sustainability and are highly relevant to the priorities of our Green Office members. These often include guest speakers from across the movement.
- SOS International summit: our annual headline in-person event, bringing together our global community. Green Office members receive inclusive or discounted delegate tickets for the 2027 summit.
- Global advocacy and representation: we provide our Green Office members with direct policy insight and participation opportunities. We promote Green Offices and related structures across networks within the United Nations and UNESCO and provide our members with high-level speaking platforms.
2027 will be a transition year as we move towards academic-year aligned membership. This is designed to enable our membership year align with annual Green Office team cycles. A 2027 membership will therefore include an extension to June 2028 (18 months)! See below categories, pricing and services included for our bronze, silver and gold membership:

Membership services notes:
Summit: included and discounted tickets are on 2027 summit delegate passes only. All add-on packages (for example, meals and accommodation) are charged at standard rates. The Europe region summit is confirmed for 27 and 28 May 2027, University of Stirling, Scotland. It is also hoped that a Latin America region summit will run in late-2027. Inclusive or discounted tickets are only valid at one of the summits.
In person development and support visits: as far as reasonably practicable, we aim to make one visit to all silver and gold Green Office members between January 2027 and June 2028. As a small charity with limited resources, it may be necessary for in-person support and development visits to be clustered by country or geographical region to ensure efficient use of travel budget.
Academic year alignment: we are aware that academic year cycles and timetables vary regionally around the world. As of 2026, 21 of our 22 members are based in Europe, with an academic year cycle running from September to June. For members with alternative cycles, we can adjust the membership year accordingly.
