Abstract

The impact of climate change has intensified the urgency of adopting sustainable practices in academic institutions, highlighting the need for innovative models that not only mitigate environmental impact, but also promote effective adaptation. This paper presents a pioneering approach focused on the development of a utility model designed specifically for climate change adaptation in the context of Universidad El Bosque. The paper focuses on the implementation of circular economy strategies, focusing on the efficient management of usable waste generated at the institution, specifically for cardboard and paper. This model, the result of interdisciplinary research, not only proposes tangible solutions to reduce the university's carbon footprint, but also establishes an exemplary paradigm for other educational institutions on their path towards environmental sustainability. In the development of the research and analysis of the data recorded by the Environmental Management Unit, it is determined that the rate of generation of usable waste from the university corresponds to a total of 19,475 kilograms for the 2023 period. Therefore, through the detailed analysis of the implementation and results obtained, this article seeks to contribute to the advancement of knowledge in a useful model for adaptation to climate change, with a practical and replicable approach in university environments and beyond, which consists of proposing a model for the implementation of a process of transformation of cardboard and paper waste, for the production of stationery items that can be sold in the university store, promoting reuse, circular economy and sustainability.

Abstract

In response to the pressing global environmental crisis precipitated by the transgression of planetary boundaries due to human activity, the Universidad Autónoma de Occidente (UAO) has made a steadfast commitment to the development of theories, strategies, and practices concerning sustainability since the late 1990s. Through the establishment of both undergraduate and graduate programs, as well as research projects and the Sustainable Campus initiative, UAO has laid the groundwork for national and international recognition in addressing sustainability. Acknowledging the progress made and the historical context, UAO recognizes that the time has come to take a significant quality step towards a more comprehensive and dedicated commitment. This step involves elevating sustainability to the status of institutional ethos. This entails ensuring that the principles of sustainability are prominently and explicitly integrated into the core functions of the university, including teaching, research, and social outreach. This work looks at the journey thus far and, more importantly, charts the course for the future in the elevation of sustainability as institutional ethos. It highlights the key milestones achieved over the past two decades while identifying the most significant challenges and barriers that the university must confront and overcome in the near future to fully embody this ethos. By doing so, UAO aims to realize its ambitious goal of becoming a truly sustainable institution.

Abstract

UC Davis has a vision for a fossil fuel-free future. The university released the Fossil Fuel-Free Pathway Plan (FFFPP) to address the climate crisis by reducing Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions. The FFFPP outlines strategies to eliminate 95% of fossil fuel use, based on 2019 levels, from university operations by 2040. The plan includes the Davis campus, UC Davis Health, Aggie Square, Tahoe Environmental Research Center, Bodega Marine Laboratory, and multiple outlying and leased properties. UC Davis has already broken ground on the Big Shift, a fossil fuel-free conversion project that will allow the campus to heat buildings with electricity rather than natural gas and reduce the Davis campus’s fossil fuel consumption by 80%. The FFFPP aligns with broader climate goals and initiatives set by the University of California (UC). The Pathways to a Fossil-Free UC Task Force was created to investigate the challenge of accelerating efforts to decarbonize each UC campus. To further support these efforts the UC recently adopted stronger climate action goals that prioritize direct emission reductions. UC Davis participates in the UC President’s Bonnie Reiss Leading on Climate Student Fellowship Program, which funds student-generated projects that reinforce the UC-wide climate action goals. UC Davis students in the program are playing an important role in climate resiliency on campus.

Abstract

This study examines the carbon capture potential of mangrove ecosystems, focusing on the Randuboto mangrove conservation area. The total biomass in the area amounts to 172.031 tons/ha, with a carbon storage capacity of 80.855 tons/ha and CO2 capture of 296.738 tons/ha. The sapling stratum, characterized by greater mangrove density, produces higher biomass and accommodates more carbon reserves compared to the mature tree stratum. Avicennia marina is identified as the most significant contributor to biomass, carbon storage, and CO2 absorption. Mangroves, through their dense root systems and photosynthetic processes, trap and store carbon both in their biomass and in waterlogged sediments, where decomposition is slowed. Additionally, tidal exchanges enhance carbon capture by promoting the deposition of organic material, further increasing carbon storage in coastal areas. These ecosystems play a crucial role in mitigating climate change by sequestering large amounts of carbon, protecting coastal habitats, and supporting biodiversity, emphasizing the need for their conservation in climate action strategies.

Abstract

Global warming comes from many human activities, such as the burning of fossil fuels and the use of energy can produce Greenhouse Gases. The energy sector itself is the largest contributor of greenhouse gases in the world. This study aims to determine the greenhouse gas emissions produced in the energy sector on Gili Iyang Island. To be able to determine the greenhouse gas emissions produced in the energy sector on Gili Iyang Island, the IPCC 2006 calculation method was used. In this method, primary data is needed in the form of data on energy and fuel consumption activities of residents and secondary data in the form of the number of families on Gili Iyang Island. In the stationary source itself, CO2 gas emissions are produced at 1,438,259.9 Kg/Year, CH4 gas at 324.164 Kg/Year, and N2O gas at 12.486 Kg/Year. Meanwhile, moving sources produce CO2 gas emissions of 510,339.1052 Kg/Year, CH4 gas of 191.363 Kg/Year, and N2O gas of 20.969 Kg/Year. As for mitigation actions that can be taken based on its topography and climate, Gili Iyang Island has the potential to use solar panels and biogas as alternative energy and fuel sources to meet daily needs.
