Abstract

Since 2019, the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) has been collecting data, preparing, and annually monitoring sustainability indicators submitted to the UI GreenMetric ranking, which guide improvement projects at the university in alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This article aims to propose sustainable practices for managing urban mobility on its campuses, drawing inspiration from the experiences of national and international universities that ranked highest in the 2023 edition of the aforementioned ranking. The study employed both qualitative and quantitative research methods, using a descriptive approach combined with Deductive Content Analysis (DCA). This analysis was further validated by the Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) method known as Fuzzy SWARA. Through this process, the study identified the most commonly adopted actions by universities: promoting the use of electric and/or conventional bicycles on campus (11.8%); projects in partnership with government, state, or municipal entities to develop express cycle paths and encourage bicycle use both on campus and in the city (9.2%); conventional bicycle rental on campus (9.2%); and electric car sharing on campus (9.2%). The proposals suggested for UNICAMP include encouraging carpooling, implementing a public transportation exemption or half-fare program for employees, promoting the use of bicycles while ensuring increased campus security, among other initiatives. This research is part of a proposal for a Climate Action Plan for the university, which aims to effectively integrate sustainability into the university's agenda and support the fight against the climate emergency through necessary adaptations.

Abstract

The strategic location of CETYS University, in Baja California state in the northwest of Mexico, gives it exceptional conditions for the use of renewable energies. With an installed photovoltaic solar energy capacity of 1.37 MW, it is the academic institution with the greatest generation potential in Latin America. The importance that CETYS University gives to the subject has stimulated the institution since 2015 to offer a degree and master's degree in renewable energy to have greater and better collaboration with solar and wind energy technology companies located in the state. With a vision of the future, in 2023 the CETYS Institute for Sustainability Studies (ISS) was created to promote and coordinate, among other actions, those related to energy and climate change. With a planning horizon until 2036, the ISS, looking forward, has proposed the following actions: a) an internal audit to increase the energy efficiency of their buildings and classrooms; b) support for research projects to build on-campus operational small-scale wind energy systems; c) the deployment of the 300 x 500 program, which seeks to plant at least 300 native trees in the region with low water consumption each year, to offset the atmospheric emissions of 500 vehicles; d) a policy to achieve 80% carbon neutrality, and e) the incorporation of CETYS to the network of Mexican universities for climate action. Among many others, these actions position CETYS as a leading institution in sustainable development at the regional level.

The primary objective of the research was to calculate the carbon footprint resulting from the substantive activities of the Autonomous University of the State of Mexico between the years 2021 and 2022, to propose strategies for carbon footprint neutralization. The scientific and methodological contribution of this research can serve as a model for Mexican universities that wish to measure their carbon footprint. The research encompasses several sections. The first section delineates the issues pertinent to this study, along with the primary objective and specific goals. The subsequent section defines the conceptual framework employed. Regarding the state of the art of this research, it was necessary to identify that it is doing in this regard in other latitudes, which is why an analysis is presented of some of the universities in Europe and Latin America that have added work and effort to carry out studies on their greenhouse gases emissions generated and, in some cases, have achieved quantify their ecological or carbon footprint. The proposed methodology takes up the guidelines of the ISO 14064-1:2019 standard and presents eleven steps. The results of the carbon footprint of the UAEMéx in 2021 were 14,077,136.90 kg of CO2e, and considering that the total of the university community at that time was 105,249 members, the amount per capita was 133.75 kg of CO2e/person/year. On the other hand, for the year 2022, the carbon footprint was 28,019,621.33 kg of CO2e, and the per capita of 261.30 kg of CO2e/person/year, considering that the university community was cemented to 107,231 members. Based on the results obtained, neutralization strategies were developed, consisting of a list of activities aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Finally, the conclusions of this research are presented.

Abstract

The stormwater harvesting (SWH) project at Pontificia Universidad Javeriana (Bogotá) began in 2007, initiated by the Water and Environmental Engineering research group (Ciencia e Ingeniería del Agua y el Ambiente), as part of PUJB's Environmental Management Plan and in collaboration with the University's Office of Physical Resources. This process included assessments of water supply and demand, rainwater quality, and financial and construction considerations. The system—a constructed wetland/regulation tank (CWRT)—collects rainwater runoff from the university's parking building (3,776 m²), the soccer field, and surrounding areas (14,816 m²). Beyond its hydrological performance, especially during periods of water scarcity, the system also functions as a full-scale laboratory to study biodiversity and ecological impacts in hydrological and hydraulic processes. The monitoring program, focused on changes in rainwater quantity and quality, has inspired several master's and doctoral research projects. These studies explore critical topics in urban hydrology, including stormwater harvesting, urban sediment management, real-time decision-making systems, and environmental and human health. This paper outlines the development of the stormwater harvesting system, shares the main findings from research projects, and discusses ongoing projects.

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.
