Abstract

The composting process is an alternative for recycling organic waste, facilitated by microorganisms that produce compost or organic fertilizer in the presence of oxygen. The resulting compost can be used as fertilizer, significantly improving soil structure. The “Composta UFMS” project aims to environmentally manage organic solid waste generated on the UFMS University City campus in Campo Grande. Currently, dry leaves, pruning and weeding residues, wood shaving from vivarium, and organic waste from the University Restaurant are being directed for composting. In addition to valuing organic waste generated on the UFMS campus and used in the production of organic compost for the extension activities of the UnAPI Agroecological Garden project, the Biovalorization of Organic Waste project also includes scientific initiation subprojects, such as the study of growth potential of fungi of the genus Pleurotus on substrates derived from different organic residues and their mixtures for mushroom production. In addition to Environmental Education actions in schools with the Composting and Urban Agriculture in Schools project using the composting method directly on the soil, eliminating the need for turning. These actions resulted in the year 2023, the diversion of 4 tons of wood shavings from the vivarium and 4.8 tons of organic waste from the University Restaurant for composting, the care of around 60 elderly people in the UnAPI Agroecological Garden project and 5 schools in the Compostagem and Urban Agriculture in Schools. The results of this study will serve as a basis for the management of organic waste on the UFMS Campo Grande campus, as well as for future research on composting, as well as new Environmental Education and Scientific Dissemination actions.

Abstract

This study focuses on the "Setting and Infrastructure" indicator of the UI GreenMetric World University Rankings, exploring the case of the Universidad Católica de Córdoba (UCC). In an environment where sustainability becomes a transversal axis for university management, the UCC has implemented an environmental conservation strategy of natural resources and management of sustainable infrastructure, demonstrating a firm commitment to caring for the world we live in. Combining the estimation of the institutional carbon footprint, the conservation of the native forest, the promotion of safe, sustainable and accessible infrastructures, and the care of human health, the UCC moves towards sustainability from a comprehensive approach. Its projects linked to environmental care seek a triple impact: 1) Environmental, through the displacement of carbon dioxide (CO2). 2) Academic, instances of training, awareness and research. 3) Social, activities, projects or programs linked to University Social Responsibility. This approach aligns with the spirit of the Encyclical Letter Laudato Si', emphasizing the interconnection between human and social dimensions and environmental conservation. This model involves combining the significant capture of CO2 from our native forest, the execution of the clean energy infrastructure project with low CO2 emissions to mitigate up to 70% of the environmental impact of our carbon footprint. This study contributes to the global dialogue on sustainable practices in the university environment, proposing a replicable framework for other institutions committed to sustainability.

Abstract

Adopting sustainable consumption behaviors is imperative for achieving better sustainable production and consumption patterns (SDG12). Individuals play a crucial role in this goal as both part of the problem and the solution. Consequently, various actors aim to address the factors influencing individuals' adoption of these behaviors. Among these actors, higher education institutions play a unique role due to their opportunity to guide future generations through Education for Sustainable Consumption (ESC) towards sustainable values, attitudes, competencies, and behaviors. Understanding the drivers and barriers individuals face toward sustainable consumption is crucial for actively pursuing sustainability. However, few efforts have addressed this problem based on the actual experiences of individuals, and even fewer have focused on students as individuals who will hopefully lead organizations with a sustainability mindset. This research aims to fill this gap by linking a pedagogical strategy of active learning to the adoption of sustainable behaviors. Using a qualitative approach, we analyzed the experiences that students reported over three academic semesters in an online forum. The findings reveal that barriers to adopting sustainable behaviors are mostly contextual, while internal factors motivate people to advance toward this type of practice. From this methodological approach, emergent factors provide insights that could guide future policies and strategies to achieve better sustainable consumption patterns.

Abstract

The present study examined students’ knowledge and attitudes in behavior about the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at Lagos State University, Lagos State, Nigeria. The data for the study were extracted and analyzed from the 353 copies of structured questionnaires that were self-administered to students across the ten (10) faculties. Data was analyzed using simple percentages, tables, One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), and logistic regression analysis. Results showed that a good percentage (77.1%) of the respondents had knowledge of and were aware of the term SDGs. Social media (33.1%), lectures (14.4%), and television (12.5%) were the prominent sources of SDGs awareness by the respondents who claimed they were aware of the term SDGs. The level of awareness of the various SDGs also varied among the students with most students being aware of 14 of the SDGs (77%), while the remaining (23%) claimed they were not familiar with three goals (9, 12, and 17). The result of the awareness further showed that among the SDGs they claimed they were aware of (91%) were for SDG 1 (NO POVERTY), while, the percentage of the level of awareness for the remaining varied from 1.1% to 13.5%. The students displayed behavioral support toward the actualization of sustainable development goals by encouraging a sustainable energy approach, encouraging sustainable consumption patterns, and discouraging biodiversity loss through their behaviors. Based on these findings, it is strongly recommended that the universities in Nigeria revise and incorporate the teaching of the SDGs into their academic curricula. This step will afford the students adequate knowledge about the UN SDGs and how these can be achieved and sustained.

Abstract

Unicamp is making progress in making its energy consumption more efficient through partnerships with companies in the electricity sector and projects carried out within the scope of the Coordination of Sustainability. Despite already being able to report a reduction of around 10% in energy consumption during the last four years, it is important for Unicamp to be able to accelerate the transition to a more sustainable operation. The Energy Efficiency Project aims to reduce the university's electricity consumption by 30% by 2030. For this purpose, it is divided into three sub projects aimed at saving energy, modernizing, and improving buildings and the university's sustainability indicators. The Unicamp 100% Led subproject foresees the replacement of conventional lamps by 18W LED tube lamps. The Sustainability in the Air subproject aims to replace old air conditioning equipment with efficient equipment. And the + Photovoltaic subproject aims to increase the generation of photovoltaic energy on the roofs of university buildings. The main goal of this is to report the implementation process of this project, its challenges, results achieved and indicators. The result of this explanation can be used as an example so that other universities can advance in the sustainable management of electric energy.
