Abstract

Despite the enormous global problems linked not only to the ecological sphere, but also to the environmental, political, economic, social and cultural dimensions, humanity continues to consider that the discourse of sustainability has a close and unique relationship with nature. It is not like this. This text aims to make a deeper reflection on the historical context, interests and power relations that derive from considering sustainability as an alternative development model. More than a neutral discourse, sustainability must always land in a specific historical and spatial context, which allows it to adapt, and then perhaps become more operational and functional. The hypothesis places the media as simplistic and, at times partial interlocutors; but definitely not neutral, which prevents the individual from understanding the complex dynamics of the planet and the possible solutions to current problems. It is not only the fact that the media define what sustainability is, it is also important to reflect on how and why they do it.

Abstract

Abstract. NOVA University Lisbon ambition to become a sustainable university following a whole-institution approach raises several challenges, due to the diversity of culture and governance of its nine schools spread over eight campuses in four municipalities. Engaging NOVA community is critical to achieve systemic changes, but very hard to carry coherently and at the same pace across all schools and throughout all its members. Different engagement schemes, interlinking a top-down one from the rector and the board of deans, who leads the vision, with several bottom-up schemes in education, research, value creation and operations are being implemented to carry out different purposes towards the common goal. NOVA for the Globe strategic platform and NOVA zero-waste task force are examples, among others, showing sustainability implementation at the university starts with people cooperation around the same ambition.Keyword: Strategic Thinking, Systemic Change, Engagement, University, Whole-Institution Approach.

Abstract

The circular economy (CE) concept reported a growing interest as an operationalizing framework, able to support the implementation of sustainable production and consumption, resource use and waste prevention broader concepts. Even if CE is different from waste management, it has traditionally been associated with waste reduction, recycling improvement, and minimization of environmental impacts in cities and territories. Additionally, CE could be a driver for the achievement of multiple Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). On the other side, universities are recognized as key actors in the transition towards sustainable development at the territorial level. Given the use of CE as a possible change paradigm to decouple economic growth from associated environmental impacts, this paper aims at highlighting some of the main successful practices put forwards by an Italian university, Politecnico di Torino, in implementing CE principles.Keyword: Circular Economy, University Sustainability, waste management

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly influenced various aspects of life, part of which has consequently paved the way toward improvements in building design criteria, especially for closed confined spaces. The closed confined spaces are directly proportional to the quantity and quality of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) present in the atmosphere, from which human beings breathe. In managing the impact produced by VOCs, a practical, sustainable, economical and environmentally friendly concept of indoor living walls has become a prominent feature for improving the indoor air quality (IAQ) of closed confined spaces to efficiently reduce sick building syndrome (SBS) factors. In modification of common practice of ventilation systems, living wall technology leverages the natural ability of plants to purify indoor air quality by reducing air pollutants and allows the recycling of indoor air and the creation of a productive and inspiring environment. In this paper, the concept of a portable living wall through the use of a native plant species locally available in Sindh, Pakistan is introduced. Herein, the portable living concept was assessed by means of the design, construction, and data collection (testing and monitoring) of various environmental parameters carried out before and after the installation of the living wall. The study was monitored for 90 days, and analyses for various types of air pollutants were carried out in the environmental laboratory. During the monitoring period, the parameters humidity, VOCs, hazardous chemicals of concern (HCOC), CO2 and CO showed reductions in their values, with changes observed ranging from 61.5 to 58%, 0.66 to 0.01 ppm, 0.2 to 0.01 ppm, 1070 to 528 ppm and 0.2 to 0.01 ppm, respectively. The outcomes showed noticeable changes in air pollutants coupled with reductions in heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) energy consumption by up to 25%, mainly due to limited air requirements for ventilation.

Abstract

Construction and demolition waste (CDW) is an important waste composition receiving attention from policymakers and researchers globally due to the negative impacts associated with its management. This paper explores construction and demolition waste management (CDWM) in Nigeria with a view to understanding CDWM’s practices as perceived by the policymakers, waste managers and other stakeholders in the construction industry. A descriptive qualitative research design was adopted with data obtained from secondary sources. Findings revealed that CDWM is not a recent phenomenon in Nigeria but there is a renewed interest in it in the last decade. Findings also revealed that CDW does not receive the deserved attention from the constituted authority and stakeholders in the construction industry. While there is a low level of awareness regarding the negative impacts of CDW on public health and the environment, most construction firms and contractors have resorted to unsustainable disposal methods of open dumping, burning, and landfilling. Further findings revealed the potential for sustainable CDWM of reusing, recycling, and composting. Finally, the paper put forward recommendations that would chart a course for sustainable CDWM in Nigeria if implemented.

Abstract

Abstract. UCC has been a leading institution for sustainability in Ireland and beyond for a number of decades. The approach at UCC has been to integrate sustainability within the operations, teaching, research and engagment activities of the University. Operationally UCC implements best practice in managing water consumption and disposal. Through our Green Campus programme, students, academic and professional services staff are actively engaged in environmental management on campus. Our water conservation efforts have followed the approach taken with energy management through our Saver Saves scheme. This scheme established Green Teams within Buildings and a revolving fund mechanism whereby teams were incentivised to reduce consumption and supported to implement projects specific to their individual setting. A major exercise to baseline water consumption was undertaken a number of years ago and drawing on these findings, specific projects have been implemented to improve efficiency. This paper will explore sustainability at UCC across operations, teaching, research and engagement with a specific focus on water. Keyword: Sustainability, energy consumption, single-use plastics, university

Abstract

The key to achieving sustainable development is striking a balance between the exploitation of natural resources for socioeconomic development and the preservation of ecosystem services, which are essential to everyone's well-being and livelihood. This can be achieved by using the ecosystem approach which promotes fair conservation and sustainable use of both land, water and living resources. Over the years, human activities have played an important role in the degradation of natural ecosystems, either due to pollution or unsustainable development. Lake Victoria is the best example of the impact of anthropogenic activity on ecosystems, as it has undergone dramatic biophysical and geochemical changes in a relatively short time. Managing Lake Victoria requires the coordinated efforts of individuals, landowners, research institutions, community groups, and the government. This lake is an important group of natural resources due to its ecosystem services and often unique cultural characteristics hence need for sustainable management. This article focuses on using the ecosystem method to determine optimal management approaches for the Lake Victoria ecosystem's long-term sustainability. The article proposes an integrated stakeholder-based management system and holistic regional development in lake areas that will preserve natural ecosystems without compromising the sustainable use of ecosystem services. As a result, there is a need to remedy the lake ecosystem's degradation in order to retain the shared ecological services that support socioeconomic well-being.

Abstract

Abstract. CETYS University is located in the state of Baja California, Mexico. Water scarcity is the main environmental problem in the region. The historic accumulated rain from 1980 to 2021, shows an average of 200 mm/year, with a long-term drought affecting the zone. Considering this fact, CETYS University works to minimize and make more efficient the use of water in all its facilities. Wastewater treatment plants operated in two campuses provide recycled water (8.5 liters per second) for green areas and general use in restrooms facilities. Recycled water is stored in cistern tanks with a total capacity of 82,000 m3, which significantly reduces the need to use external supply of clean city water; also, purification devices give drinking water for students, academics, administrative, and service personnel. Water-efficient appliance usage is a priority in CETYS policies. Considering hand washing taps, toilet flushes, and men's urinals, nearly 88% of the devices are water-efficient. CETYS University complies with the official regulations for preventing pollution from wastewater generated inside campuses. Wastewater goes to the internal treatment plant or the Municipality treatment facilities. Water management at CETYS is a priority to contribute to regional sustainability.Keyword: Water Scarcity, Water Management, Wastewater Treatment, Regional Sustainability
