Abstract

In this study, consumption data for 2020 were obtained from the Administration Activity Reports published annually by Ondokuz Mayıs University (OMU). Waste data were also taken for the 2020 period as the amounts recorded within the scope of the Zero Waste Project carried out by the university. With the collected data, in the second part, the changes in waste types and amounts will be mentioned in addition to the approximate carbon footprint calculation with the effect of the pandemic process experienced with the year 2020, within the scope and limits determined by the university. The amount of waste per person as students and faculty members of the wastes originating from the units of the university was also calculated. By using the amounts of glass, paper, metal and plastic waste types collected separately by the Ministry of Environment and Urbanization, the amount of gains to be obtained against parameters such as energy, raw material use and emission reduction was calculated with the help of zero waste counter. In order to evaluate the zero waste studies carried out by the University. Within the scope of Zero Waste studies of Ondokuz Mayıs University, the types and amounts of waste coming from the units during the 2020 pandemic period were evaluated. Considering the data obtained from the different units of the university, a decrease was observed in the amount of waste, as in the consumption data. In addition to the harmonization of integrated waste management and transfer mechanisms in our university, carbon capture gardens have been designed to be implemented in our university.Keyword: integrated waste management, carbon release, carbon footprint, carbon capture garden

Abstract

The climate crisis is the biggest existential threat to humanity in present times. Realizing this the United Nations have taken several important measures to address this challenge and prevent the rise in temperature of the earth. Increased concentration of carbon Dioxide in the environment is the major contributor to the global warming. Energy produced through the fossil fuels is a great factor behind this increase in CO2. The use of energy sources which do not produce CO2 are to be adopted and promoted aggressively.Universities have to play a crucial role in achieving this shared goal of humanity of saving the environment. The universities have to adopt sustainable development plans in their campuses, implement green energy sources and promote a culture of energy efficiency and conservation. In addition, the universities have to address the research questions in this area and train the manpower also. The Aligarh Muslim University, a leading university of India has been contributing towards these goals. This paper describes the initiatives of the university in adopting green sources of energy, energy efficiency and conservation. The future plans based on the experiential learning are also explained. Keyword: Green Energy, Energy Efficiency, Solar Energy, Energy Conservation, AMU

Abstract

In achieving Sustainable Development Goals, the university holds a leading position. However, throughout the year long pandemic attachment between university and student has moved towards a more virtual platform. It has become a great challenge for both students’ and educational institutions to continue education through online platform. Facing the challenges of pandemic IUBAT successfully continues the online educational program. KBAD-Knowledge Based Area Development, a UNU (United Nations University) Flagship project has proven effectiveness in building links with IUBAT to students across the country. This program is to produce at least one technical graduate from 87,963 villages of Bangladesh. Door to door proper guidance for higher education is provided in the remote villages with financial assistance and interest free loans for the meritorious and needy. Since 2010, a total 9,381 students have graduated and another 11,699 are currently studying under KBAD from 535 out of 550 Upazilas and Thanas across the country. In the year of 2018, Merit Scholarship has been given approximately BDT 164.9 million; Interest free loan approximately BDT 20 million; Special Scholarship BDT 0.66 million with a total sum 185.56 million BDT or 2.2 m USD. Generally, 15% (Fifteen) more scholarship has been given to female students to ensure gender equity.  There is no other such university sponsored scheme/program for financial loan available in the country.  In the period of COVID-19, an additional 15% (fifteen) tuition fee waiver has been given to all, admission fee reduced 50%, a 6 USD fund transferred to the students to avail mobile data. Students have graduated with technical and ESD (Education for Sustainable Development) skills as it is a mandatory practice of this university. This nationwide education promotion made it a sustainable campaign outreaching the majority of remote villages of the country and encouraging technical education to the underprivileged group of the society along with the urban students. This unique program complies with SDG goals 4.3, 4.4 and 4.7. These goals ensure equal access of affordable, technical, tertiary and sustainable education to all leaving no one behind. KBAD is a model to eradicate educational discriminancy in a nation by removing financial barriers in tertiary education.Keyword: Sustainability Education, KBAD, Education Loan, Equal Access of Tertiary Education, Mentoring Rural Students

Abstract

Solid Urban Waste (SUW) and Special Handling (EHW) generated in the Institution are handled in 200-liter plastic containers with the appropriate identification according to the type of waste and the race, placed in the buildings of each of the races; the waste is separated by the students following the criterion of the 4 Rs (Reduce, reduce, reuse and recycle). Reusable waste is used for students to make different products in the reuse workshop of the Institutional Environmental Program (IEP) such as paper pads, acetate pencil holders, pens, paper holder and paper board, among others for use by the Institution's population. With the organic waste (OR) compost is prepared in the composting center, which is used to fertilize the green areas. The recyclable waste is sold obtaining an economic benefit that allows the operation of the activities carried out by the (IEP). The (EHW) are concentrated in the “green point” to be sent to the “recyclers”. The alkaline batteries, the Institution collects them temporarily, giving the service to the population of the Toluca valley to be sent to confinement by the municipality of Toluca. The use of Solid Urban Waste allows to form a sustainable environmental culture in the population of the Institution, such as savings in the consumption of paper, financing in the operation of the (IEP) and supporting the economy of the students.Keyword: Solid waste, paper, composting, reuse, recyclable

Abstract

Measuring the CO2 emission to the atmosphere has become significantly important due to the monitoring demand of pollutant emission based on the directives of the Kyoto Protocol. The carbon quota system has created strict regulations for measuring the CO2 emission in certain industries, internalizing the negative external effect of pollution created by human activity. As the built infrastructure is responsible for 40% of CO2 emission, this study focuses on the evaluation of the carbon footprint of the Study and Information Centre, which is one of the largest and most frequently visited main buildings of the University of Szeged [1]. The data collection used for the evaluation was conducted in the first quarter of 2020 and contains information for all three scopes (fuel combustion, company vehicles, fugitive emission – purchased electricity, heat and steam – purchased goods and services, business travel, waste disposal, transportation, investments). In the process of data collection, the eating habits, selective waste collection and travelling methods were covered in a visitor/employee survey as well. The results highlighted in this paper will provide a basis for further carbon reduction investments, protocols and events held for shaping the visitors’ and employees’ consciousness after the COVID 19 pandemic. Keyword: Environmental impact, carbon footprint, Bilan Carbone, higher education, travel, meals

Abstract

sustainable operations agenda. Guided by this agenda, we formed partnerships to operationalize a greener transportation system. One of our initiatives is to partner with an electromechanical solutions provider in operationalizing our zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) policy with the use of electronic vehicles in our shuttle services before the pandemic. To reduce the number of private vehicles on campus, we also partnered with a bus company to provide a point-to-point service for our community members.  During the pandemic, we continued to develop facilities and programs to encourage the use of bicycles by our community post-pandemic. With this, we look forward to further reducing the number of private vehicles on campus and the need to provide additional parking spaces. Keyword: Zero Emission Vehicles (ZEV), Shuttle services, Bicycles
