IPB University has declared as a Biodiversity Campus since 2011. This declaration was carried out considering the high biodiversity at the IPB University Campus. One of the causes of the high campus biodiversity is the uniqueness of the campus landscape and the maintained proportion between the built and open-green areas. The existence of lakes, forests, arboretums, plantations, and three rivers that cross the campus area has contributed to the high diversity of habitats and consequently to the biodiversity. At least 22 species of mammals, 99 species of birds, 12 species of amphibians, 38 species of reptiles, 128 species of butterflies, 173 species of woody-plants, 40 species of bamboos and 127 species of medicinal plats have been recorded inhabiting the 257 ha of the campus area. The biodiversity has significant role as objects for research of the students, lecturers, researchers as well as for tourism such as for bird watching, picture hunting, outbond and other recreational activities. Therefore the campus functions for education and for tourism, thus ecoedutourism for academic community as well as community around the campus. To maintain the biodiversity, IPB University issued several policy innovations. The first policy innovation is monitoring of population and distribution of biodiversity on a regular basis. Second, habitat management for biodiversity. Third, on-site and offsite socialization to campus and offcampus communities. Fourth, conserving the habitats of the flora and fauna. Fifth, rare tree planting. Sixth, the movement to plant fruit trees by each faculty. Seventh, conservation of biopharmaceutical medicinal plants. Eighth, building a garden for food sovereignty. Ninth, conducting research on campus biodiversity. All of these policies involve the academic community, experts, alumni and the community around the campus.

Growing actions on putting into practice the policy for improving sustainable development gives universities great variety of opportunities on implementation of different ‘green’ technologies in their campuses. Campus greening is the first step towards sustainability. The purpose of this article is to present existing approaches on the categories of sustainable campus initiatives, their significance for complete region development and the state of the environment. On the example of the inner garden of Volgograd State University, the authors describe the importance of greening the external campus sites for minimization of the negative environmental and health affects for students and faculty staff. The green initiative reflects the institution’s function as center of technological and social regional development. The green garden can reduce stress and also provide an esthetic sense by involving attractive surroundings. The impact of climatic zone on emerging of appropriate management and maintenance systems, meaningful comparison with the past landscape solutions are also reviewed in the present article. By implementing green technologies, the university shows its prudence and readiness to behave responsibly, sensibly and maturely in response to sustainability issues of the present and the future.

In recent years, the destruction of the environment on the one hand and the increase in awareness of the consequences of this great danger on the other hand, has led to global actions and consequently, local actions to protect the environment and sustainable development. One of these actions is the sustainable development of universities. The reason for the importance of this case is, firstly, the goal of the universities themselves, which as the center of knowledge and training of the country's elites, is also at the top of environmental affairs, and secondly, as a center with a large number of students and staff which can have a great impact with action for environment. In this research, by using library studies, field observations and interviews, we try to identify sustainability measures of Iranian universities in order to achieve sustainable development and finally present the results of these measures to improve the methods of establishing sustainable development in universities and provide a comprehensive and complete model taking into account all aspects of sustainable development in universities with special emphasis on the campus and its green management. A questionnaire-based on international and domestic standards on the effectiveness of green management parameters in the sustainable development of Tabriz University was prepared and sent to university administrators and faculty members, and then the top ten rankings of this questionnaire were used using interviews with Tabriz university administrators to be determined their preferences in this regard.

A pilot – level system of the termal pirolisis process was developed to obtain biocarbon with minimal emission of polluting gases, from the solid waste generated in the pruning gases, from the solid waste generated in the pruning and gardening of the university campus of the University of Santander in Bucaramanga Colombia. The pilot – level system has a processing capacity of 50 kilograms of prunning and garden waste, and the operating variables ser 500ªC of temperatura and 120 minutes of processing. The prunnig and gardenning samples were divided into two. The first simple consisted of Woody-type residues (pruningn), the second simple consisted of grass and leat litter remains. The biocarbons obtaneid were characerized physicochemically, by close analysis and last chemical analysis (CHN). For its part, the morphology of the biocarbons and the microchemical anlysis of the ash particles that they possessed was carried out by means of scanning electron microscopy coupled with chemical microanalysis by means of X-ray dispersive energy spectroscopy. The biocarbon obtained can be used as soil additions to increase the forests that surrond the University campus.

The circular economy is a topic researched by Wageningen University & Research (WUR). In addition to better waste management WUR strives to reduce the use of resources in its operational management. Recently WUR’s executive board ratified a Circular economy policy, vision & strategy 2019-2030. Aim is to achieve a 50% reduction in the use of resources in 2030, compared to 2014. This ambition follows the circular economy policy launched by the Dutch government.By buying fewer products, making smarter use of products, extending their lifespan and re-using products within WUR or elsewhere, WUR will reduce the number of resources used, as well as the amount of waste that is incinerated or recycled. In order to follow the progress of WUR’s circular economy policy WUR will also monitor the usage of resources, in addition to the current waste monitoring. Strategies proposed are to extend the use of products, to recycle products for new purposes, extending the lifespan of new products and to close the circle for new products fully. The success of WUR’s circular economy policy depends on acceptance and support by, and behaviour of students and employees whose expertise WUR will furthermore use where possible. WUR will also cooperate where possible with other organisations and companies.

In this work the considered concept of sustainability explores the relationships between economic development, environmental quality as well as social. Delineated by the UN in 1972, since then the subject has taken on great proportions, mainly due to its imminent urgency. In 2015 the theme was part of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, making up the Agenda 2030. Recently, Higher Education Institutions have been compelled to offer their contributions, given their role in human formation. Considering GreenMetric's relevance since the beginning of its activities, its dimensions and indicators have offered relevant directions on the path of Sustainable Higher Education Institutions. Thus, the present work demonstrated, through the case study, how the dimensions and indicators proposed by GreenMetric could form part as an important strategic driver in the path of a Brazilian Higher Education Institution - Academic Center, located in the countryside of São Paulo State. Its registration at GreenMetric in 2019 allowed the same formulations of short, medium and long term strategies.

The University of Sharjah is a leading educational and research institution in the Gulf region. To stimulate the different aspects of sustainability in education and research as well as to ensure the implementation of sustainability concepts throughout the University campus operations, the concept of sustainability circles is implemented. The University being in hot-arid-zone and mostly surrounded by desert terrain relies on unconventional water conservation programs and initiatives such as the use of innovation & technology, reuse and recycling of water, and awareness campaigns. In line with such programs, the use of potable water is limited for hygiene purposes and wastewater generated within the University is reused after treatment to irrigate the vast green spaces through the most efficient irrigation water application systems. Examples of water conservation practices include use of efficient water devices, reuse of treated greywater for toilet flushing at a selected location, water quality monitoring, preservation to conserve water for its intended use, promoting waterless car wash on the campus grounds etc. On-campus water is also conserved through disseminating knowledge and awareness to the University community and beyond through various sustainability related programs and initiatives organized by Sustainability Office for water conservation and environmental protection.

The COVID-19 pandemic took its toll on many countries in early 2020 after the first case was reported in China at the end of 2019. Malaysia was not spared either and the Government was forced to take a bold yet drastic measure in implementing the Movement Control Order (MCO) in earnest on 18 March 2020. The measure, akin to a lockdown, practically forced all forms of socio-economics and socio-educational activities to come to an abrupt stop. Schools, institutions of higher learning and training centers were directed to close its doors to students. Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) had to abruptly implement contingency plans in the wake of the negative impact brought about by the pandemic. Almost all academic activities had to be reorganized when majority of the students opted to return to the safety of their home environment, and the staff were required to work from home in compliant with the MCO. This development necessitated the University to introduce the remote learning mode in place of the traditional face to face learning and teaching (T&L). Various other strategies and measures were also introduced by the University which required reprioritization of tasks and determining possible risks that could impede normal daily operations. UUM opted for a holistic approach to address the impending concerns and to ensure the continuity of the education process and to address the wellbeing of its staff who are forced to work from home.

To achieve an environmentally friendly campus, UMN operates gas engine generator with co-generation system. Waste heat from generator powers absorption chiller for air conditioning. UMN benefits clean energy sources, reduced pollution, and energy saving. The next phases rely on energy consumption reduction by applying passive design. Two towers were designed with double-skin facade. The perforated aluminum panel reduces solar heat gain on the building wall while still allows sunlight into the room for natural lighting. Lower room temperature will reduce cooling load, which will save energy. Combined with energyefficient appliances and natural air ventilation for corridors and open space, this concept saves more than half of energy consumption. Both towers were awarded the first and second winners of ASEAN Energy Award in 2014 and 2019. Various trees have been planted and produce oxygen to supply fresh air to create comfortable studying environment without air conditioning. To reduce carbon footprint, UMN provides shuttle bus and bike-sharing service. A holistic approach is implemented by recycling and conserving water with sewage water treatment and infiltration wells surrounding the campus. As part of the sustainability program, UMN has also utilized solar energy.
