Abstract

UI GreenMetric World University Rankings is a non-profit initiative from the University of 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 also being held online. We evaluate the workshop to capture the experience gained in organizing the event. We conclude that online workshops such as IWGM are conductible, although we also understand that every event is unique and new lessons can be learned from each new event

Abstract

For the University of L’Aquila, sustainability and civic engagement are key commitments. Actions to enhance and safeguard the territory and to improve the community wellbeing are even more meaningful in a city that, after the earthquake of 2009, is re-thinking its social and economic backbone. The aim to provide buildings with a high level of seismic security, of energy efficiency and resources saving, has been particularly challenging, but that also offered an opportunity. The participation to the UI Green Metric WUR has been a natural consequence of this process of renovation. Moreover, throughout the data collection and analysis, UI GM rankings stimulates the cross disciplinary cooperation in research, innovation, social and civic engagement.Concerning “Energy and Climate Change” the University could take the opportunity to exploit the competencies of research teams worldwide known working in renewable energies production (solar, wind, hydropower), building efficiency and retrofitting, environmental impacts. The University is member of the Italian University Network for Sustainable Development, which offered guidelines to implement energy and climate change related politics. The improvements of building focused on: smart illumination appliances (61% of the area), smart automation of heating/cooling (90% of the area), renewable energy production (PV and solar thermal), and integration of climate action into the strategic plan.

Abstract

Namal Institute was established by Mr. Imran Khan, a famous philanthropist and the current Prime Minister of Pakistan, with a mission for rural uplift and development through educating bright youth and offering innovative solutions to rural challenges through research by highly trained academics. The majority of the Namal’s students belong to rural areas, and 97% of them secured scholarship either due to meritorious educational background or being unable to afford education (i.e., needbased scholarship). To ensure quality, Namal has kept a student-faculty ratio of 10:1. It is one of the pioneering institutes focusing on Agribusiness and Agri-tech education in Pakistan. It has a beautiful campus comprising of 1000 Acres land located in the Salt Range in an area consisting of hills and crags overlooking Namal Lake in the Mianwali District. To foster its sustainability efforts, Namal has planted an olive garden on an area of 4 acres. Recently, two new blocks have been constructed using environmentfriendly material (e.g., mud blocks, solar-powered LED lights, etc.). Various student societies in Namal Institute have also taken different environmental and social initiatives in the rural area. Primarily during the corona pandemic, the Namal Society for Social Impact (NSSI) has managed to deliver ration packages to the deserving low-income families of the rural area. The medical and administrative staff has distributed essential protection material to the hospitals/doctors in the rural area.

Abstract

ITERA (Institut Teknologi Sumatera) is one of young university situated in Lampung Province, Indonesia. In 2018, the average population of campus (students, faculties, and staff) was about 9584 persons. The objective of this paper is to inventory Green House Gasses (GHGs) and then to calculate carbon footprint using equation by UI Greenmetric Guideline 2018 except for fuel and LPG consumption, paper use, and organic waste generation by using GHGs Protocol. Three scopes of GHGs emission were used to classify based on both direct and indirect source(s). The first scope was presented by LPG consumption and fuel consumption of campus’s car. Electricity consumption became scope 2 while the scope 3 involved paper use, organic waste generation including food waste and Yard trimmings, and transportation activities of both motorcycles and cars. The estimated GHGs emission was about 2846.541 metric ton CO2eq during 2018-2019 (one year) with the portion of each scope resulting 10.2%, 62%, and 28.2%, respectively. Electricity usage was being the highest contributor of carbon footprint. The inventory of GHGs will help top management of campus to evaluate and determine some strategies for minimization, reduction, and mitigation notably in electricity sector by some strategies such as substituting electric devices into eco-friendly products, applying energy management ISO 50001, and others.

Abstract

Mulch is a type of protective covering placed on or spread over the soil surface that helps to conserve soil moisture, suppress weed growth and enrich the soil. The paper mulch is the most complete mulch and has numerous beneficial effects upon the soil and plants. This mulch which is produced from office waste paper, newspaper and wrapping papers, conserves soil moisture, is effective at suppressing and inhibiting weed growth, enhances agro-ecosystem health by improving the air and water movement through the soil; providing moist conditions thereby promoting micro-organisms and worm populations; promoting plant growth and product, promoting leaf litter build up and helping to improve the pH balance in the soil.

Abstract

Promoting sustainability through innovative culture and models is nowadays a top task for universities. Their commitment oriented by the 17 United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) conveys the message that sustainability is not a "luxury" but an essential vehicle through which to pursue and guarantee everyone's rights, inclusion and future.Solving complex problems calls for collaboration among communities; aware of that, Italian universities set up the RUS - Italian University Network for Sustainable Development - which acts as a model to encourage collaboration between universities and cities, to spread social innovation at local level and to provide cultural awareness at national level. The University of Trieste (UniTs) joined the network in 2017. Consistent with its strategy for sustainability, UniTs has implemented measures on the macro-context (to raise public awareness and to support research) as well as on micro-context (to orientate behaviors and habits of its community). In particular, it focused on virtuous projects such as waste management, based both on the constant reduction of waste production and on the optimization of the use of materials and products (i.e. paper, glass, reagents), along with the setting of separate waste collection to reduce disposal and favor recycling. The paper will refer on the present framework and the implementation of new integrated projects, aimed at consolidating a community attentive and aware of sustainability.

Abstract

Since 2019 CES University began with the implementation of the zero single-use plastics guidelines in order to restrict 100% the use of all single-use plastics at Campus and thus avoid the final disposal in sanitary landfills, with all the negative impact that it has into the fauna, flora and human health, eliminating the generation through prevention, reduction, reuse and recycling. Those single-use plastic products were replaced by elements such as cane bagasse and starch of corn; among others biodegradable and compostable, in order to end the life cycle of these products transforming them into compost. Since the use of single-use plastic elements was banned, we managed to reduce the generation of these products by 89%. From 471.5 Kg in 2018 to 53 Kg in 2019. With this practice, we contribute to SDG 13 - goal 13.3, SDG 12 - goal 12.4 and 12.5. This practice is being replicated in 10 more universities countrywide.

Abstract

Biodiversity has declined in many areas because of human activities and loss of habitats. The Watershed of Arak University with a total area of 625.65 hectares is located on the southwestern slope of Mount Mudar, northwest, adjacent of Arak city and north of Karahrod. Biodiversity information of the area was collected with using linear transect and dotted transect methods by installing camera trap, camera and GPS. The results indicate that biodiversity history dates back more than 65 million years. Currently, lives 55 species of dominant rangeland species and 50 species of animal include: 34 species of birds, 10 species of mammals and 6 species of reptiles and amphibians in the area. Falcon and Fritillaria are the Endangered (EN) and Greek tortoise and persian toad agama are the Vulnerability (VU). The most important threats to biodiversity include are development of the city of Arak in the region, habitat destruction, uncontrolled hunting, livestock and dogs, road construction and the abandonment of habitats with surrounding habitats, feeding wildlife from urban waste, nature tourism and informal climbing.
