Abstract

The impact of climate change has intensified the urgency of adopting sustainable practices in academic institutions, highlighting the need for innovative models that not only mitigate environmental impact, but also promote effective adaptation. This paper presents a pioneering approach focused on the development of a utility model designed specifically for climate change adaptation in the context of Universidad El Bosque. The paper focuses on the implementation of circular economy strategies, focusing on the efficient management of usable waste generated at the institution, specifically for cardboard and paper. This model, the result of interdisciplinary research, not only proposes tangible solutions to reduce the university's carbon footprint, but also establishes an exemplary paradigm for other educational institutions on their path towards environmental sustainability. In the development of the research and analysis of the data recorded by the Environmental Management Unit, it is determined that the rate of generation of usable waste from the university corresponds to a total of 19,475 kilograms for the 2023 period. Therefore, through the detailed analysis of the implementation and results obtained, this article seeks to contribute to the advancement of knowledge in a useful model for adaptation to climate change, with a practical and replicable approach in university environments and beyond, which consists of proposing a model for the implementation of a process of transformation of cardboard and paper waste, for the production of stationery items that can be sold in the university store, promoting reuse, circular economy and sustainability.

Abstract

UC Davis has a vision for a fossil fuel-free future. The university released the Fossil Fuel-Free Pathway Plan (FFFPP) to address the climate crisis by reducing Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions. The FFFPP outlines strategies to eliminate 95% of fossil fuel use, based on 2019 levels, from university operations by 2040. The plan includes the Davis campus, UC Davis Health, Aggie Square, Tahoe Environmental Research Center, Bodega Marine Laboratory, and multiple outlying and leased properties. UC Davis has already broken ground on the Big Shift, a fossil fuel-free conversion project that will allow the campus to heat buildings with electricity rather than natural gas and reduce the Davis campus’s fossil fuel consumption by 80%. The FFFPP aligns with broader climate goals and initiatives set by the University of California (UC). The Pathways to a Fossil-Free UC Task Force was created to investigate the challenge of accelerating efforts to decarbonize each UC campus. To further support these efforts the UC recently adopted stronger climate action goals that prioritize direct emission reductions. UC Davis participates in the UC President’s Bonnie Reiss Leading on Climate Student Fellowship Program, which funds student-generated projects that reinforce the UC-wide climate action goals. UC Davis students in the program are playing an important role in climate resiliency on campus.

Abstract

The composting process is an alternative for recycling organic waste, facilitated by microorganisms that produce compost or organic fertilizer in the presence of oxygen. The resulting compost can be used as fertilizer, significantly improving soil structure. The “Composta UFMS” project aims to environmentally manage organic solid waste generated on the UFMS University City campus in Campo Grande. Currently, dry leaves, pruning and weeding residues, wood shaving from vivarium, and organic waste from the University Restaurant are being directed for composting. In addition to valuing organic waste generated on the UFMS campus and used in the production of organic compost for the extension activities of the UnAPI Agroecological Garden project, the Biovalorization of Organic Waste project also includes scientific initiation subprojects, such as the study of growth potential of fungi of the genus Pleurotus on substrates derived from different organic residues and their mixtures for mushroom production. In addition to Environmental Education actions in schools with the Composting and Urban Agriculture in Schools project using the composting method directly on the soil, eliminating the need for turning. These actions resulted in the year 2023, the diversion of 4 tons of wood shavings from the vivarium and 4.8 tons of organic waste from the University Restaurant for composting, the care of around 60 elderly people in the UnAPI Agroecological Garden project and 5 schools in the Compostagem and Urban Agriculture in Schools. The results of this study will serve as a basis for the management of organic waste on the UFMS Campo Grande campus, as well as for future research on composting, as well as new Environmental Education and Scientific Dissemination actions.

Abstract

This study focuses on the "Setting and Infrastructure" indicator of the UI GreenMetric World University Rankings, exploring the case of the Universidad Católica de Córdoba (UCC). In an environment where sustainability becomes a transversal axis for university management, the UCC has implemented an environmental conservation strategy of natural resources and management of sustainable infrastructure, demonstrating a firm commitment to caring for the world we live in. Combining the estimation of the institutional carbon footprint, the conservation of the native forest, the promotion of safe, sustainable and accessible infrastructures, and the care of human health, the UCC moves towards sustainability from a comprehensive approach. Its projects linked to environmental care seek a triple impact: 1) Environmental, through the displacement of carbon dioxide (CO2). 2) Academic, instances of training, awareness and research. 3) Social, activities, projects or programs linked to University Social Responsibility. This approach aligns with the spirit of the Encyclical Letter Laudato Si', emphasizing the interconnection between human and social dimensions and environmental conservation. This model involves combining the significant capture of CO2 from our native forest, the execution of the clean energy infrastructure project with low CO2 emissions to mitigate up to 70% of the environmental impact of our carbon footprint. This study contributes to the global dialogue on sustainable practices in the university environment, proposing a replicable framework for other institutions committed to sustainability.

Abstract

Adopting sustainable consumption behaviors is imperative for achieving better sustainable production and consumption patterns (SDG12). Individuals play a crucial role in this goal as both part of the problem and the solution. Consequently, various actors aim to address the factors influencing individuals' adoption of these behaviors. Among these actors, higher education institutions play a unique role due to their opportunity to guide future generations through Education for Sustainable Consumption (ESC) towards sustainable values, attitudes, competencies, and behaviors. Understanding the drivers and barriers individuals face toward sustainable consumption is crucial for actively pursuing sustainability. However, few efforts have addressed this problem based on the actual experiences of individuals, and even fewer have focused on students as individuals who will hopefully lead organizations with a sustainability mindset. This research aims to fill this gap by linking a pedagogical strategy of active learning to the adoption of sustainable behaviors. Using a qualitative approach, we analyzed the experiences that students reported over three academic semesters in an online forum. The findings reveal that barriers to adopting sustainable behaviors are mostly contextual, while internal factors motivate people to advance toward this type of practice. From this methodological approach, emergent factors provide insights that could guide future policies and strategies to achieve better sustainable consumption patterns.
