Abstract

Universities play a key role in driving positive change by equipping students to address environmental and social challenges. This study examines how students at IPB University perceive various sustainability initiatives implemented on campus. Based on a survey of 1,545 undergraduate students, the research explores their knowledge, awareness, and interest in these efforts. The results show that while most students are familiar with the general concept (87.6%), fewer have knowledge of specific programs, institutional rankings, or the university’s Campus Sustainability Office. Nevertheless, nearly all respondents consider these efforts important (98.7%) and support active student involvement (97.2%). Many also express a desire to see these topics integrated into academic courses (84.9%).These findings highlight the need for improved internal communication and curriculum development to enhance student participation. The study offers both practical and academic insights for improving sustainability strategies in higher education institutions. Future research should include multiple universities and consider mixed-method approaches to better understand the factors influencing student engagement

Abstract

The rising population, changing climate patterns and land use changes have emerged to be a serious consequence for the freshwater resources across the globe. Apart from water quantity, the water quality also holds a significant importance for the human health and the overall ecosystem. Due to the high population growth, massive migrations, and greater anthropogenic activities, the urban centers of the developing and underdeveloped countries are highly susceptible to water quality deterioration and waterborne diseases. Therefore, this study was conducted to assess the water quality of domestic water supply in the three (03) major and highly populated districts of Karachi city of Pakistan including District Central, South, and East, receiving water from Keenjhar Lake via COD treatment plant. The physical test results showed higher turbidity levels (6.33 NTU) in Dhoraji (District East), 5.9 NTU in Boat Basin (District South), and 7.58 NTU in COD influent. Chemically, all samples showed satisfactory results as per the WHO guidelines. However, the biological water quality analysis showed significant presence of bacterial content (E-Coli and Total Coliform) in all collected samples. Conclusively, the treatment efficiency of COD treatment plant was found to be satisfactory and the contamination was mainly found due to the sewage and fecal mixing, presence of mud and silt in conduits, and leakage of sewage from the waste water pipes into the domestic water supply. The presence of harmful biological contaminants found in water is alarming, as it may consequentially lead to Diarrhea, vomiting, Typhoid, Cholera, and Jaundice. Thus, the research outcomes clearly unearthed the existing water quality of the mega city and would significantly serve to formulate well-integrated and holistic source water protection practices and to take effective measures for sustainable water quality management.

Abstract

Stunting is associated with food insecurity and diarrheal infections. Age under five years is a golden age, which is very important for optimizing growth and development in the future. This study aimed to investigate the association between food insecurity and diarrhea and the prevalence of stunting in toddlers aged 2-5 years. Analytical observations using cross-sectional design. The study sample comprised 140 children aged 2-5 years. The sample was selected by simple random sampling. Data analysis was performed using univariate, chi-squared, Kruskal-Wallis, and multivariate tests. A total of 18.6% of the toddlers were stunted, 66 families were food insecure, and 31 toddlers had diarrhea. There was a relationship between chronic diarrhea and short nutritional status (p<0.001), and there was a significant relationship between food insecurity and the incidence of stunting (p=0.001). Results of the multivariate analysis using logistic regression. The final modal formula was log p (stunting) = -2.549 + 1.808 (parental income < minimum wage) + 6.098 (history of diarrhea) + 1.396 (food insecurity). Diarrhea is the dominant factor that most influences the incidence of stunting.

Abstract

This study investigated students’ awareness, participation, and commitment to sustainability initiatives across the four campuses of Lagos State University (LASU), Ojo, Ikeja, Epe, and Badagry. Data were collected from 214 randomly selected students. The data obtained were analyzed using simple percentages, tables, Pearson correlation, and One-Way ANOVA. The results obtained revealed that 49.1% of the respondents demonstrated high awareness of sustainability initiatives, with Badagry campus recording the highest awareness at 95.5%, and Ikeja the lowest at 35.6%. Furthermore, 63.1% of students indicated familiarity with LASU’s sustainability programmes, reflecting a moderate level of institutional visibility, while 48.1% rated the visibility of these efforts as high, again with Badagry leading at 95.5%. Despite these levels of awareness, only 26.6% of students strongly agreed that LASU is committed to sustainability. Among campuses, Badagry (50.0%) and Ikeja (42.2%) showed the strongest perceptions of institutional commitment. Opinions on LASU’s energy initiatives were mixed: 54.2% rated them as somewhat effective, 28.5% as very effective, and 39.3% believed the efforts were insufficient. Statistical analysis showed positive correlations between awareness and energy-saving behavior (r = 0.224, p = 0.001), as well as between awareness and intentions for future participation (r = 0.174, p = 0.011). Adoption of energy-saving behaviors varied significantly across campuses (F = 10.841, p = 0.000), while intentions to participate in future initiatives did not show significant differences (F = 2.023, p = 0.112). The result generally revealed that LASU students exhibited moderate to high levels of engagement with sustainability initiatives. The notable variations in awareness, perception, and participation across campuses, especially between Badagry and others, highlight the need for tailored, campus-specific strategies to ensure more balanced and widespread adoption of sustainable practices.

Abstract

The University of Genova (UniGe) has undertaken a significant commitment against climate change, with the goal of becoming climate neutral by 2030. The commitment began in 2014 with the calculation of its carbon footprint and has developed through several stages. In 2019, it joined "The Sustainable Development Goals Accord" and declared a Climate Emergency, also joining the United Nations' "Race To Zero for Universities and Colleges" campaign. In 2022, it approved its Climate Neutrality Strategy 2022-2030, and in 2025, it will implement its Climate Action Plan. UniGe's Climate Action Plan includes two main sections: mitigation and adaptation. The mitigation plan, based on annual greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory, outlines the path to climate neutrality, with intermediate and long-term goals to reduce direct emissions (from fossil fuels), indirect emissions linked to energy consumption, and indirect emissions related to mobility, waste, water consumption, and procurement. Residual emissions will be offset through the purchase of certified credits. The adaptation plan aims to increase UniGe's resilience to climate change: it is based on the Liguria Region strategy, integrated with internal policies and procedures for risk management (weather alerts, hydrogeological risks, exposure to extreme temperatures, etc.) and actions for educating and raising awareness within the academic community.

Abstract

Climate Change, driven by greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), demands concrete responses from all sectors, including the higher education party. This research aimed to calculate the carbon footprint (CF) generated by the core activities of the Autonomous University of the State of Mexico (Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México, UAEMEX) from 2021 to 2024, and to propose strategies for its neutralization. A hybrid methodology was adopted, based on international standards such as ISO 14064-1:2019, PAS 2050, PAS 2060 and the Greenhouse Gas Protocol, adapted to the characteristics of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). This approach classified emissions into three scopes: direct emissions from fossil fuels (Scope 1), indirect emissions from electricity consumption (Scope 2) and other indirect emissions associated with waste management, paper consumption and infrastructure (Scope 3). The results indicate a 99% increase in the institutional carbon footprint between 2021 and 2022, linked to the resumption of face-to-face activities caused by COVID-19, subsequently by stabilization in the generation of HC in the subsequent years. Effective mitigation actions were identified, avoiding nearly 10 million kg CO₂e, with emphasis on sustainable university transport, process digitalization and carbon absorption through green areas. The study proposes a comprehensive neutralization plan and a replicable methodology, positioning UAEMEX as a national benchmark in university sustainability and contributing to global climate commitments through institutional management.

Abstract

This article examines the trajectory and advances of the Sou Mulher UFMS (“I am a Woman UFMS”) program, implemented by the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul (UFMS), in the context of SDG 5 – Gender Equality of the UN 2030 Agenda. Adopting a qualitative, documentary approach, the study applies thematic analysis to institutional data and strategic documents — including the Institutional Development Plan (PDI), Annual Management Reports, Institutional Committees Meetings, and Public Records from 2021 to 2024. The results reveal the program’s evolution from isolated actions to a structured institutional policy, supported by intersectoral governance, evidence-based planning, and the strengthening of institutional bodies such as the Pro-rectorate for Citizenship and Sustainability (Procids) and the Committee for People Management, Inclusion, and Affirmative Actions (CGPIA). Key achievements include greater female representation and leadership, enhanced support for maternity and paternity in academia, and reinforced mechanisms for preventing and addressing gender-based violence. The updated program for 2025–2028 sets measurable, sustainable goals to promote equity in admission, retention, and academic success for women, with attention to diversity and intersectionality. The UFMS experience offers a replicable model for other higher education institutions in Brazil and Latin America, demonstrating the transformative potential of institutionalized gender policies driven by data, participation, and strategic governance.

Abstract

The increasing impermeabilization of soil and intensification of extreme weather events have heightened the risk of flooding at Unicamp's Zeferino Vaz campus. Designed in the 1960s, the current drainage infrastructure is no longer adequate to meet present and future climate challenges. This study proposes the requalification of the drainage system through Nature-Based Solutions (NbS), aligning with Unicamp’s 2021-2031 Integrated Territorial Master Plan and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). NbS promote a shift from traditional rapid runoff models to sustainable drainage strategies that enhance infiltration, evapotranspiration, and retention. The project adopts a multi-scalar methodology, integrating interventions at the lot, street, neighborhood, and watershed levels. Planning is structured into five steps: hydrological diagnosis, mapping of impermeable and flood-prone areas, typology selection, feasibility analysis, and integration into institutional planning. The project is currently in its third step, identifying suitable NbS typologies for priority zones on campus. Supported by Unicamp’s sustainability governance, the initiative is embedded in a broader data-driven and participatory approach. It also foresees the integration of educational components, monitoring systems, and partnerships with academic and municipal stakeholders. Preliminary results include a complete hydrological diagnosis, detailed geospatial mapping of impermeable and flood-prone areas, and the preliminary selection of NbS typologies tailored to priority campus zones. The expected outcomes include flood risk reduction, increased biodiversity, enhanced thermal comfort, and the creation of outdoor learning environments. By leveraging its living lab model and long-standing sustainability commitment, Unicamp aims to transform environmental challenges into opportunities for innovation and resilience, and offers a replicable model for universities and urban areas.

Abstract

This research focuses on applying sustainable development principles to finance students’ education at Gulf University (GU)-Bahrain. We coincidentally emphasize the strategic alignment of the UN-SDGs to the finance curriculum. The research is a response to Bahrain’s Vision 2030 and the increasing regional focus on the sustainability of the economy. In this respect, GU paved the way for green finance and redefined finance education to upskill the graduates. Our mixed-methods approach involved analysis of finance program curricula, interviews with 18 faculty members, and surveys of 124 alumni and industry partners. Our research finds a successful three-pronged strategy. First, the finance curriculum was redesigned by SDG-aligned modules, which were embedded into core courses, replacing the traditional CSR course with ESG in Business.  Second, partnerships with the Bahrain Association of Banks facilitated the co-development of ESG case studies and sustainability-oriented capstone projects. Third, faculty capacity building through programs such as green finance trainings since 2023 has upskilled 25+ instructors, resulting in a 67% increase in SDG-aligned research. The research highlights that GU's efforts have contributed to a 19% increase in finance graduates securing sustainability-aligned roles since 2023, aligning with Bahrain’s Vision 2030. This case study offers a blueprint for higher education institutions in the middle east keen to align finance education with sustainability. Finally, linking the university's action to measurable societal and economic impacts, GU demonstrates how higher education can align with national sustainability agendas while preparing graduates for global green finance markets.

Abstract

Today, circumstances have changed across Europe and the world, sustainable development engagement in politics unfortunately steps back for military investments and more protective and defense spendings. The world is experiencing a rollback in terms of climate protection, sustainable development and scientific freedom. The consequences could have very negative impacts on today’s and future generations. Hence universities worldwide have to concentrate harder and broader on future focused and science based sustainable solutions. So the concept of the Environmental Campus Birkenfeld is not only to instruct and talk about sustainability. We practice very consequently what is taught in the lectures every single day with an advanced infrastructure. Students, lecturers, labs and institutes study and work successfully with a professoral experience in these fields of almost 30 years, researching, testing and installing new environmental engineering technologies, teaching state of the art sustainable business and advanced environmental law. This paper focuses examples of the campus setting regarding facilities and buildings that are equipped technologically on a high level – as the Environmental Campus is Germany’s first zero emission campus and a model site of Trier University. Finally, the ‘UI Green Metric family’ must foster and maintain advanced sites to convince people, politicians and third-party funds to assure the endowment of universities further on. Reducing or even stopping the admission of resources for science and education like in the U.S. 2025 is not acceptable – nowhere. This is a challenge for universities worldwide.
