Green Recovery Now
Green Recovery Now is an Oxford University student-led movement.
The group say: ‘We feel passionately that the climate crisis must be tackled urgently and, being university students, we want to make use of research and connections with researchers to support the argument for a global green and fair recovery from COVID-19. There are currently more than 30 Oxford University students in seven different teams. The intention is reaching out to students around the world. We want to work together as a global movement to put pressure on our governments to invest in climate-friendly policies to boost economic recovery from the COVID pandemic, based on the best scientific research.’
Green Recovery Now was born in Green Templeton College during the summer of 2020.
You can find more on the Green Recovery Now website.

Over the past week, we have celebrated the extraordinary Green Templeton community through events, volunteering, competitions, challenges and fundraising for student support. It has been wonderful to see alumni, fellows, supporters, friends, staff and students coming together to show our support for students.
From the Garden Party and the Photography Competition, to the Memory Wall and Biscuit Decorating Competition, the week has been filled with moments that reflect the warmth, inclusivity and spirit of our college.
Thank you to everyone who made a gift, attended an event, volunteered their time or followed along throughout the week. Together, we have raised over £65,000 for student support. These gifts will help students pursue opportunities, navigate financial pressures, participate fully in college life and thrive during their time at Oxford.

📸 Congratulations to Sophia Hall (MSc Medical Anthropology, 2025), winner of the Green Templeton College 2026 Photography Competition!
Sophia`s reflection on Vincent captured perfectly the sense of belonging that so many people find at Green Templeton.
A huge thank you to everyone who entered the competition and to everyone who voted. Your support also helped unlock £1,000 of funding as part of our Community & Giving Week challenge!
What a way to start Community & Giving Week 🤩
Saturday`s Garden Party brought together alumni, fellows, friends from across the UK and beyond to celebrate one another and support current and future students.
On the day, many shared their college memories on our `memory wall` - from today on display in the Stables Bar.
We are now asking our global community to share their memories of Green, Templeton and Green Templeton, and help us unlock an additional £1,000 for student support once we reach 50 memories.
You can email development@gtc.ox.ac.uk with a picture or share a video or audio via the link in the comments.
