Abstract

More than 30 years ago, the participation of RUDN in the Earth Summit in Rio became an important moment in the university’s history: it was decided to create the first comprehensive ecological faculty in Russia. Now half of the history of our university is also the history of environmental education in Russia. During this time, more than 10,000 ecologists and hundreds of specialists in other sustainability areas were trained. Almost all programs at the university include aspects of sustainability. Over 15 MOOCs and 10 interdisciplinary courses on relevant aspects have been developed. Annually, over 1,000 specialists improve their skills in various aspects of sustainability. An extensive research program in the areas of environmental safety and sustainability includes only in recent years: a program on environmental safety of transport (a part of the Federal project “Clean Air”); expert work on the implementation of BATs. In 2021, Russia’s first Body for the Validation and Verification of Greenhouse Gases was successfully accredited in the university. More than 100 students are annually involved in the campus environmental monitoring program. Since 2022, the university presents a sustainability report. The environmental policy is presented on the university website and has been successfully implemented since 2017. We are confident: the role of the university is the formation of personality, the promotion of the sustainability ideas on the example of its home university.

Abstract

The use of ground tank constructed by Telkom University for Rainwater Harvesting (RWH), is limited to environmental maintenance due to concerns regarding the quality of water in the underground tank. Therefore, this research aims to develop a remote monitoring device that uses Internet of Things (IoT) technology to monitor the pH, water surface, submerged materials, and water clarity levels in ground tank. To achieve the requirements, pH, ultrasonic-based volume, Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), and Turbidity sensors were selected due to the IoT connectivity. The enabling device, namely the ESP 32 microcontroller and Blynk platform were installed on monitoring dashboard on a tablet computer with 4GB of RAM. The result showed that calibration of each sensor had good accuracy, except for the Turbidity sensor due unavailable materials. In conclusion, the RWH monitoring system is suitable for use.

Abstract

The university campuses are like microcities, providing employees and students with social opportunities and essential services in addition to their core educational activities (teaching, research, and outreach). The smart campus is a growing trend that makes efficient use of infrastructure by integrating smart technologies for decision-making and advancing sustainability goals. The mobility and transport project at the Unicamp University campus is part of the Smart Campus Management Technical Chamber, and the Campus 5.0 concept is aligned with several sustainable development goals outlined in the UN's 2030 Agenda. This proposal aims to develop an inventory of vehicle emissions, establish the connectivity of the information and communication network to analyze the impacts of vehicles on local air quality, and structure support models for decision-making, in addition to presenting practical solutions implemented at Unicamp aiming at greater sustainability of the campus. The information and communication network will allow the collection and analysis of data in real time, providing accurate and updated information on vehicle emissions and air quality in the campus area. Decision support models will be developed, which will allow the definition of policies and actions to promote sustainable mobility on campus, contributing to the creation of a healthier and more sustainable university environment. These results will aid university administrators in improving Green Metrics' key performance indicators.

Abstract

The 2020 Farm to Fork strategy by the European Commission aimed to reduce agrochemical pollutants and protect biodiversity but stirred controversy due to conflicts between intensive agriculture demands and environmental priorities. Strict limits on agrochemical residues required farmers to produce less. The de-intensification and agroecology prone policy impacted livelihoods, sparking political upheaval. Due to lack of pesticide alternatives and extension services, Lebanese exports have faced challenges complying with residue restrictions. Agricultural laborers and consumers are exposed to high levels of pesticide residue. Undocumented refugee women form a significant part of the agricultural workforce, and women led agricultural cooperatives have minimal access to funding, exacerbating gender inequity. The American University of Beirut (AUB) has played a pivotal role in agroecology research, rural development, and gender equity. Knowledge transfer promotes civic awareness and private sector partnerships. Local Natural enemies and parasites emerged as a residue-free alternative to agrochemicals. Biocontrol-based integrated pest management holds great potential for mitigating pesticides hazards to human and environmental health. Launching the “natural predators” initiative from women-run farms holds a great promise in dually resolving the problems of agrochemical pollution and gender equity in the agricultural sector. Empowering women in agriculture aims to transform their role from care work to farm management. This paper focuses on the technical aspects of developing “natural enemies” as pesticides alternative for Lebanese agriculture, aiming to overcome export challenges and revitalize the economy. "Farm to Fork meets Hestia to Demeter" underscores AUB's commitment to sustainability aligns climate action with gender equity. By supporting women entrepreneurs and addressing climate change's impact on public health, the initiative contributes to AUB's broader mission of advancing Lebanon and the region through Education for Sustainable Development.

Abstract

Sustainability management plays a significant role in higher education. Development of a sustainable university involves integrating environmental, social, and economic considerations into various aspects of its operations, including campus infrastructure, curriculum, research, and community engagement. This urgently requires a strong commitment as a driving force behind sustainable initiatives, guiding actions, decisions, and investments toward achieving sustainability goals. IPB University as one of the most prominent universities in Indonesia is not only committed to becoming a sustainable university but also consistent in developing strategic plans to pursue its vision. Guided by this vision, IPB University has specifically established the Sustainable Campus Development Office (SCDO) to devise comprehensive sustainability plans outlining its goals, targets, and strategies for reducing environmental impact, promoting social equity, and ensuring economic viability. While it is still on progress, this commitment has played a significant role in encouraging sustainability practices at the university. It provides a foundation for leadership, governance, resources allocation, curriculum integration, student engagement, community partnerships, monitoring, reporting, and continuous improvement toward achieving sustainability goals. In addition, the university has established several sustainability values as guidance and indicators for maintaining sustainable practices. Integrating values and commitment is thus critical to realizing sustainable practices from generation to generation.

Abstract

Energy consumption has gained great attention in recent years, particularly due to the changes in the geopolitics situation and the difficulty in ensuring security in energy sources supply. Several national and international governments set new and more stringent targets to reduce fossil fuel consumption, also proposing specific short-term and mid-term actions. For instance, the Italian Government emanates the Italian National Plan to Reduce Natural Gas consumption in 2022, particularly focused on residential, commercial and public buildings. University of L’Aquila takes inspiration from this planning, to revise its energy management and promote technical actions and a communication campaign aimed at reducing energy consumption. The short-term actions are related to the HVAC plants management of its building: a) shortening the heating days and reducing the daily hours HVAC switching on; b) slight reduction of the indoor comfort temperature; c) reduction of lighting time and intensity. Moreover, virtuous behavior has been encouraged with a communication campaign addressed to employees and students. Results obtained in only one year are very exciting: the natural gas consumption has been reduced more than 20% in academic year 2022/2023, with respect to average values of previous years, with an estimated GHG emissions avoided close to 140 tCO2 for the specific faculty considered. These results are very positive in the GreenMetric perspective, and they boost the importance also of a quite simple but effective energy management strategy and diffusion of awareness on energy and environmental issues.

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

In response to the pressing global environmental crisis precipitated by the transgression of planetary boundaries due to human activity, the Universidad Autónoma de Occidente (UAO) has made a steadfast commitment to the development of theories, strategies, and practices concerning sustainability since the late 1990s. Through the establishment of both undergraduate and graduate programs, as well as research projects and the Sustainable Campus initiative, UAO has laid the groundwork for national and international recognition in addressing sustainability. Acknowledging the progress made and the historical context, UAO recognizes that the time has come to take a significant quality step towards a more comprehensive and dedicated commitment. This step involves elevating sustainability to the status of institutional ethos. This entails ensuring that the principles of sustainability are prominently and explicitly integrated into the core functions of the university, including teaching, research, and social outreach. This work looks at the journey thus far and, more importantly, charts the course for the future in the elevation of sustainability as institutional ethos. It highlights the key milestones achieved over the past two decades while identifying the most significant challenges and barriers that the university must confront and overcome in the near future to fully embody this ethos. By doing so, UAO aims to realize its ambitious goal of becoming a truly sustainable institution.
