Corey Peterson: University of Tasmania and International Leader in Sustainability in HE

We are absolutely thrilled to be joined by Corey Peterson, one of the true global leaders in sustainability in higher education! Corey is the Chief Sustainability Officer at the University of Tasmania where he has transformed their sustainability work in the over 16 years he has worked there. A consistently high performing institution in the THE Impact Ratings, Corey has again led UoT to Number 1 in the world in SDG 13 Climate Action in the 2026 ratings - just one of many indicators to demonstrate his positive contributions to sustainability. We chat about Corey's career, how not only inspires but also learns from others, and why his type of job matters so much. We hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did recording it!
