Abstract

The impact of university activities on the environment shouldbe studied and managed based on the constant evaluation of realconsumption needs, on the use of reusable or recyclable resources and onthe encouragement of an active and participatory role in terms of care andimprovement of the environment (physical and social) throughresponsible use.This is a challenge that requires the commitment of the entire universityand involves a continuous process of awareness-raising among students,teachers, researchers and staff.In 2016, UNSAM the National University of San Martin (UniversidadNacional de San Martín) conducted a study on mobility in its main campus"Miguelete", which covers an area of 20 hectares. Subsequently this andother works and analysis were systematized in the "Best EnvironmentalPractices Guide" made in 2019 and approved by the Superior Council ofthe UNSAM. This Guide aims to provide tools to make changes in habitsand new practices to minimize the impacts that the university itselfgenerates on the environment.The objective of the proposed presentation is to share with otheruniversities the common challenges and some actions to configure acomprehensive policy that combines and promotes economic, social andenvironmental sustainability within the framework of the 2030 Agenda.Keyword: Good environmental Practices/ Sustainable University Campus/Sustainable University Mobility/SDGs/Participative approach
