Abstract

The program 'Campus, home, city: laboratories of change', aims to promote the students and citizenship formation in the basic concepts of environmental and social sustainability, responding to the priority challenges for our society such as climate change, waste production, circular economy or sustainable mobility. The proposed service-learning, hands-on activities takes advantage of the housing, the university and the city as places for researching and experimentation. A feature of this program is the use of online ICT tools for fieldwork, in particular the survey and mapping of waste generation and footprint, water use efficiency, transport footprint and consumption of energy. The project has the collaboration of the Alcoa Foundation and is now in its 6th Edition, adding up the participation of more than 11,000 people. In the last two editions, the project has been extended to primary, secondary and vocational training centers in the region of A Mariña.

Abstract

Human wellbeing is closely linked to the health of the environment. Around the world, 24% of deaths can be traced back to avoidable environmental factors, according to the World Health Organization. People need clean air to breathe, fresh water to drink, and places to live that are free of toxic substances and hazards. As we begin to experience the long-term consequences of exponential industrial growth and energy use, we must act to reverse these effects and prevent further damage, ensuring we have healthy places to live for generations to come. Objectives of this work are to show the implementation in our University of methods of water and waste management, since early 2017.

Abstract

Escuela Superior Politécnica de Chimborazo (ESPOCH), a higher education institution located in the central region of Ecuador, is one of the largest universities in the area, serving a student population of 19,349 and employing 1,091 teachers and 588 staff members. In 2022, the university was recognized for its sustainability efforts and ranked 386th in the UI GreenMetric World University Rankings. To further improve the university's sustainability indicators, the institution has prioritized initiatives related to energy and climate change, water management, and transportation. In order to reduce the university's carbon footprint, the first initiative involves implementing hybrid systems in campus buildings that utilize both photovoltaic energy and energy from the national electricity grid. Additionally, measures to increase energy efficiency and savings are being taken. For water management, the university is implementing a system to monitor water distribution for possible leaks, as well as devices to ensure efficient water use. A campaign promoting good environmental practices will also be launched. Lastly, to improve transportation, the university plans to implement an efficient transport management system within the campus, optimize the use of institutional vehicles, and encourage the use of environmentally friendly transportation options. ESPOCH is dedicated to placing sustainable initiatives at the forefront of its priorities while also decreasing its environmental impact. The institution utilizes both factfiles and experiences gained from participating in the UI World University Rankings as essential tools in guiding its efforts to improve the areas where it is weakest in terms of sustainability.

Abstract

Oguz han Engineering and Technology University of Turkmenistan is a higher education institution, which specializes in training engineers with innovative views. Training of future professionals that “Engineer a Sustainable World” requires not only new competencies, including creative learning and thinking, complex problem-solving interdisciplinary and international cooperation, and a code of ethics, but also challenges a change in engineering education itself. In our approach, we suggest innovative ways to develop a deeper working knowledge of technical fundamentals while simultaneously learning personal and interpersonal skills, and product, process, and system building skills. For analysis of interrelated arrangement of modules for effective acquisition of knowledge, a supportive alignment of disciplinary courses was studied and a wide range of skills required in professional areas were mapped throughout the curriculum. Moreover, we created a new learning context that provides an opportunity to implement both theoretical and practical knowledge to conceive, design, implement and operate real-world systems and products. In this approach, we developed integrated methods of gaining active learning experience that forms a basis for carrying out challenging capstone projects. As a result, our innovative approach that focuses on modification of education and research improves all aspects of comprehensive training of sustainable engineers.

Abstract

From the moment Montenegro became an ecological state in 1991 and defined its strategic commitment to adopt and apply the highest norms and standards in the field of environmental protection, until today, it can be stated that very little has been done in practice. The role of the scientific community in such a chaotic system should be crucial in terms of supporting and developing study programs oriented towards nature conservation, environmental protection, and the adoption of the concept of strategic development that is ecologically sustainable. Citizens increasingly recognize and feel the consequences of bad decisions by those who do not want to face the avalanche of environmental problems in Montenegro. The role of the university as a higher education scientific research institution should be crucial in managing future education in this area, through full support for sustainable development and providing examples of good practice. This paper will investigate to what extent and in what way Montenegrin universities contribute to sustainable development, including their curricula, programs, contents, and overall activity focused on "green" business.

Abstract

In Italy most Universities are located in the City Centre, often in ancient buildings that are part of the architectural heritage. During the years they developed campuses in peripheral areas, or even in other cities of the region, thus the concept of “shuttle” takes on a special meaning. The sustainable transportation concerns two main issues: the commuting and the connection between the campuses. In both cases Universities in urban or city centre setting must rely on the services offered by the Municipality to all residents for mobility, and to their sustainable policies, that anyway are required by law. Even though the main problems and solutions do not depend directly on the Universities’ policies, the study highlighted some good practices have been produced.

Abstract

Capacity building for campus sustainability has been recognized as a process of strengthening the university stakeholders’ skills to minimize the negative impacts of current crises and emerging challenges. While many universities emphasize capacity building through research and education activities, most, if not all, neglect activities for non-academic staff. Without the necessary capacity, the universities might not be able to realize their development plans. To address this issue, Chulalongkorn University developed a capacity building program called “Beyond Leading Changes” in 2021 which consists of three modules. The first aims to provide SDGs knowledge and raise awareness on the local and global challenges. The second focuses on the design thinking process in which participants were asked to empathize, define, and ideate potential solutions to sustainability problems. The last module utilizes the project-based leaning approach in which the skills were developed through engaging projects set around real-world problems. 70 supporting staff from various units completed the program which resulted in many interesting pilot projects that cover a wide range of issues. Nevertheless, the challenge remains to make the program more accessible and inclusive.

Abstract

IPB University in Bogor, Indonesia, has developed its campuses as living laboratories for education, research, community outreach, innovation, and business. The university's infrastructure under the living lab concept, such as forestlands, farmlands, wetlands, teaching factories, and business units, offer real-life opportunities for students and staff to create greater impacts to societies from their academic activities. This paper presents the lessons learned from IPB's campus setting as a living lab, focusing on how students and stakeholders can learn from the existing infrastructure and facilities, how research can benefit from a natural setting, and how the campus can serve as a model for sustainable living. Implementing living lab concept faces challenges as other new initiatives, particularly on the aspects of effective interdisciplinary works, formalizing the community of practices in which pool of experts are organized and knowledge management system is developed. In conclusion, in the era of emancipated learning implementation in Indonesia, IPB University's campus setting could provide a platform for facilitating activities related to science-practices/policy interface.

Abstract

Today's ecological problems that threaten life on the planet, including global warming, loss of biodiversity, plastic pollution of seas and oceans, are largely unrecognized by individuals and communities. In this sense, scientific institutions should play a key role in developing awareness in the community, especially among students, about the consequences of pollution, the costs of pollution, in such a way as to adopt and promote "green" development policies. Today's "green" universities recognize the importance of this important global topic and develop questions about sustainable development through their studies and extracurricular activities, promote sustainability topics through marketing activities, adopting the very concept of sustainable development in continuity. Courses focused on "green" issues are introduced through the academic curricula. This paper aims to examine the level of awareness of university students in Montenegro about the implementation and level of adoption of "green" policy in university practices and offer ways to improve this concept. The work will represent a good basis for the improvement and adoption of the concept of "green" development at Montenegrin universities.
