Abstract

Universities have a crucial role in fostering sustainability awareness and solutions. This conceptual paper introduces a three-stage framework-Awareness, Action, and Advocacy-for empowering students as sustainability ambassadors. The Awareness stage focuses on building foundational knowledge through orientation programs, campus-wide campaigns, and interactive workshops. Action emphasizes hands-on engagement, from eco-clubs and recycling drives to collaborative green projects that cultivate leadership and problem-solving skills. The Advocacy stage involves peer education, institutional policy dialogue, and partnerships with local communities and organizations to extend the impact beyond the campus. The proposed framework aligns with global sustainability goals, including the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the UI GreenMetric World University Rankings criteria. It highlights the importance of administrative support, training, and recognition systems to sustain momentum and institutionalize these efforts. By systematically involving students in sustainability initiatives, universities can catalyze lasting cultural shifts, foster responsible citizenship, and create pathways for scalable, real-world impact. This paper contributes a strategic roadmap for higher education institutions seeking to harness student potential, address environmental and social challenges, and build a generation of skilled sustainability leaders.

Abstract

National Chi Nan University (NCNU) integrates local engagement with global perspectives, advancing University Social Responsibility (USR) initiatives to support regional development. A key example is NCNU’s role in Hehuan Mountain Dark-Sky Park, Taiwan’s first internationally certified dark-sky park, promoting sustainable tourism and environmental conservation. Taiwan’s tourism industry struggles to balance economic growth with sustainability. In Qingjing, short-stay tourism strains local resources. NCNU collaborated with governments and astronomy associations to develop dark-sky tourism (DST) as a solution to extend visitor stays while preserving ecology. NCNU helped draft the Hehuan Mountain Dark-Sky Park Management Ordinance, aligning lighting regulations with International Dark-Sky Association (IDA) standards. The university fostered cooperation among government agencies, businesses, and astronomy experts to balance conservation with economic benefits. DST integration into hospitality services encouraged eco-friendly tourism, while star-guiding programs built local expertise. Beyond dark-sky governance, NCNU supports regional revitalization in healthcare, Indigenous tourism, and AI-driven smart agriculture. By training professionals and fostering sustainable industries, NCNU strengthens economic resilience, positioning Hehuan Mountain as a global research hub for light pollution studies.

Abstract

This study examines the effective waste management program at Central Mindanao University (CMU), which dramatically reduced its monthly waste generation from 30 tons to just 2 tons. The implementation of key strategies such as the Ban on Single-Use Plastics and the Color-Coded Sacks Policies, integrated into a broader framework aligned with sustainable development goals (SDGs), was crucial for this reduction. As the university transitioned back to in-person classes post-COVID-19, the campus population increased significantly from approximately 11,000 to 17,000, intensifying waste management challenges. In response, CMU established the Office of Environmental and Safety Management (OESM), which effectively tackled these issues by instituting structured policies that not only drastically reduced waste but also enhanced sustainability practices across the campus. The program's success was further amplified by robust community engagement and collaboration with local government, illustrating that a culture of environmental consciousness can effectively meet immediate waste management needs even in the absence of advanced technology. The study highlights how strategic planning and cooperative efforts can lead to significant environmental improvements, positioning CMU’s program as a benchmark for eco-conscious management. It aligns with global zero-waste best practices and demonstrates significant impacts on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards.

Abstract

Panpacific University, located in the northern part of the Philippines, has been active in promoting the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal No. 7, or the push towards affordable and clean energy, by promoting sustainable energy use through a variety of energy efficiency initiatives. These initiatives include: (a) the University’s commitment towards channelling renewable energy through the installation and use of photovoltaics, so that this array of solar panels may generate sufficient energy to become a major contributor in meeting the demand of the school’s energy consumption needs; (b) the replacement in the campus buildings of more conventional incandescent or fluorescent light bulbs with lower cost and longer-lasting LED lamps for both greater energy efficiency and lower energy use and maintenance costs; and (c) the setting up of various school guidelines and policies aimed at promoting personal and institutional responsible energy consumption and also at further raising awareness of the need to take a more sustainable approach towards resource use, as well as encouraging further study and discovery in this area. This current report serves to detail the implementation of these initiatives, and the results achieved to date. As the school goes through a restructuring process and installs a newly appointed Sustainability Officer tasked now to oversee these initiatives, a further discussion on the projected targets and potential future directions that these initiatives might take is also in order. It is hoped that this information might be of use for other Higher Educational Institutions in the locality or in the region towards their own energy efficiency efforts.

Abstract

This paper addresses the acute, interconnected socio-ecological challenges facing the Chimborazo province of Ecuador, a region characterized by high rates of poverty, chronic child malnutrition, and severe environmental degradation. These challenges demand a systemic, university-led response that transcends traditional models of outreach and knowledge transfer. The institutional model proposed herein was developed using a Participatory Action Research (PAR) methodology, which integrates a Quintuple Helix framework to engage stakeholders from academia, industry, government, civil society, and the natural environment. The primary result is the Tuta Sindina ecosystem, a novel organizational model for the Escuela Superior Politécnica de Chimborazo (ESPOCH) designed to foster a regional socio-ecological transition. Key features of this model include the creation of interdisciplinary research institutes targeting regional crises, comprehensive curriculum reform based on the principles of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), and the deep integration of ancestral Kichwa knowledge, particularly the philosophy of Sumak Kawsay (Good Living). This paper concludes that the Tuta Sindina model offers a robust and potentially replicable framework for universities, particularly in the Global South, to function as anchor institutions for regional sustainability, thereby contributing a unique perspective to the global discourse on the role of higher education in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
