Abstract

In the 21st century, the utilization and application of renewable energy resources are the need of the hour. Currently, in Pakistan, the cost of electricity per unit is very high and it has a huge effect on financial matters. In this study, we have analyzed the 360 kW Photovoltaic (PV) Solar system (On-Grid) installed at the University of Wah, its effects on the financial aspects, and environment change before and after its installation and operation. There are many types of renewable energy resources but not all of them are environmentally friendly. The University of Wah opted for the PV Solar system because it is environmentally friendly with no carbon emissions and requires very less maintenance. In this paper, we have also discussed, how this system benefits the local community and benefits the environment. All the facts and statistics about the 360 kW PV Solar System (On-Grid) are shared in detail.Keyword: Photovoltaic solar panels, Electricity Demand, Renewable energy, Environmentally friendly, Climate change

Abstract

Clean water is one of the significant goals among the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which will be achieved by at least 2030. It includes six outcome-oriented targets- improve water quality, wastewater treatment, ensure freshwater supplies are three of them. In Bangladesh, Freshwater ecosystem is continuously degraded due to rapid industrialization, which occurred along the riverside areas. In this context, laboratory-based work has been conducted to analyze the water quality of Dhaleshwari River, Bangladesh, which has already been polluted by industrial waste. The collected water samples were treated by submerged macrophyte Egeria densa to observe the changing water quality parameters. The growth of plants and roots were assessed after 10 days of exposure to three categories of water treatment. Initial and final water quality parameters were observed by the analysis of pH, EC, TDS, TSS, Acidity, Alkalinity, Total Hardness, Ca Hardness, COD, Sulphate (SO42-), Phosphate (PO43) Total Chlorine (Cl-) and Copper (Cu2+). The result showed that almost all the toxic parameters of water were reduced significantly at the end of the experiment. The present study hypothesized that submerged macrophyte E. densa can be used as a potential tool to upgrade the water quality of polluted rivers.Keyword: Clean water, Submerged macrophyte, SDG 6, Dhaleswari River, Freshwater ecosystem

Abstract

UI GreenMetric World University Rankings is a non-profit initiative from Universitas Indonesia that ranks universities around the world based on their commitment and actions towards sustainability. During the ranking process, many universities’ performance in UI GreenMetric has progressed. To increase the performance of each university in UI GreenMetric, universities need to share their sustainability achievement and current condition in a forum. These universities can share information about the implementation of sustainability policies in each university through the International Workshop on UI GreenMetric World University Rankings. Due to the ongoing pandemic and our concerns that the event could ease the spread of coronavirus, this event was being held online. We evaluate the workshop to capture the experience gained in organizing the virtual event. From the topics modeling based on several regions, we conclude that university leaders around the world are very concerned about diverse sustainability issues, alongside the Covid-19 pandemic that has been going on for more than a year. We also conclude that people are getting more accustomed to virtual events, as evidenced by the increase in IWGM 2021 active participants of around 44% compared to 2020 virtual workshops. Keyword: green workshop, sustainability, digital transformation, online workshop, synchronous model, asynchronous model.
