Abstract

Universities play an essential role in achieving Indonesia's 2060 carbon-neutral target. Emissions in the campus are mainly sourced from its electrical energy, transportation, and water use, along with other wastes. Electrical energy from solar is renewable energy, free from pollutants and noise pollution. This paper examines the sustainable energy performance of solar energy at the Universitas Islam Negeri Raden Fatah Palembang (UINRFP) and its development efforts. From August 2022 to March 2023, a solar power plant (SPP) operation with a capacity of 7.74 kWp has generated 6,281.5 kWh of electricity (28.55 kWh/day). Using a radiation factor of 0.8 and an equivalent sun hour of 4.61 (3-5 hours/day), the rooftop capacity of all buildings on Jakabaring Campus is 2,000 kWp, the potential of SPP electricity of UINRFP will exceed 39.3% compared to the 2022 electricity demand. If the capacity is, half the electricity generated from renewable energy meets 70% of the demand. Gradually UINRFP continues to develop its energy sources towards sustainable energy. The development of other research-scale renewable energy with hybrid solar energy and wind power for the aesthetic lighting function on the rectorate building has the potential to generate 290 kWh/year. In addition, micro-hydro energy sources from campus canals (water volume ±9,400 m3) and biomass are potential renewable energy sources at UINRFP for a sustainable campus in the future and contributing to reducing the impact of climate change.

Abstract

COVID-19 and the movement control order (MCO) implemented in 2020 and 2021, have had a major impact on Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia (USIM) in all directions. To mitigate these problems, USIM’s top management has taken several initiatives to ensure the operation of the University is upheld to its most so that the student continue their study without any delay or obstruction. By incorporating the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on Goal 4 (focused on inclusive and equitable quality education) and with the underlying concept of data-driven and student-centric, this paper presents Smart University Blueprint (Al-Jamiah Al-Mubarakah). It has 5 clusters and 13 initiatives for digital transformation to support inclusive and equitable quality education. The 5 clusters consist of smart governance, smart lifestyle, smart infrastructure, smart learning, and smart services. This smart blueprint is based on 7 principles from USIM’s ICT Strategic Plan (ISP) 2021-2025, which emphasized and are based on the Islamic Laws concept (Maqasid Syariah), Industrial Revolution, Student-Centric, Data-Driven, Open Source, Agile and Mobility, and Prosumers. This paper presents how the blueprint has helped to accelerate stakeholders’ understanding and cooperation in achieving SDGs in higher education during and beyond the pandemic.

Abstract

The best practices of a university waste management considering innovation, impact, and future direction of sustainable universities involve a comprehensive approach that considers not only the environmental impact of waste but also the social and economic dimensions of sustainability. This is especially true for higher education institutions that are meant to educate most future business and social leaders of a country or a region, as is the case at Corvinus University of Budapest. The first step in waste management is to minimize the amount of waste generated. Corvinus achieve this by promoting a culture of sustainability on campus and encouraging students, faculty, and staff to adopt eco-friendly habits, such as using reusable bags, bottles, and containers, and minimizing the use of single-use items and encouraging the use of digital documents instead of paper. After reducing waste generation, the next step is to reuse and recycle as much as possible.Corvinus set up recycling stations that accept a wide range of materials, such as plastics, paper, and electronics. Additionally, Corvinus works with local organizations to donate gently used items, such as furniture and IT, instead of sending them to landfills.Corvinus track their waste generation and disposal to identify areas for improvement and evaluate the effectiveness of their waste management programs. By regularly monitoring and reporting on their waste management practices, Corvinus set goals for improvement and demonstrate their commitment to sustainability.Corvinus collaborate with industry, government, and community groups to find new and innovative solutions for waste management. This include partnering with local waste management organizations to develop sustainable waste management practices, as well as working with local businesses to reduce waste generation. Overall, a successful waste management program at a sustainable university requires a multifaceted approach that incorporates education, outreach, partnerships, technology, and monitoring. By implementing these best practices, universities can reduce their environmental impact, engage students, and staff in sustainable practices, and demonstrate their commitment to creating a more sustainable future.

Abstract

Vision, mission, and value statements are important elements in every organization in communicating the core values and practices the organization follows. In higher education institutions, they play an important role in the road map of the institution and how the institution is engaged with all its stakeholders. The aim of the research is to examine the visibility of information about sustainability on the websites of UAE universities. Universities are important players when it comes to communicating Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), as they have an important role in societal awareness about sustainable development. To what extent do the mission, vision, and value statements reflect the sustainability of the higher educational institutions that are investigated? The study employs a quantitative content analysis method to explore elements of SDGs by looking for keywords that are associated with the terms ‘sustainable’ or ‘sustainability’ and associated with the 17 SDGs. The sample includes 27 local universities across the UAE. The collected data from universities’ websites are analyzed using AntConc, a software for textual analysis. Only nine universities included a general term for sustainability in their documents. There was a mention of only six SDGs, and SDG9, followed by SDG4, were the most mentioned ones. The performance of the higher educational institutions in sustainability and how these are communicated should be focused strategically. The study will show the way to look at local practices when it comes to SDG communication and be the catalyst for comparative studies that can help establish best practices and guidelines for universities in the region.

Abstract

Wageningen University & Research (WUR) has a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) agenda, which was drawn up in 2020, after the adoption of the Strategic Plan. The topic “Research and education to contribute to societal challenges” is at the top of the CSR agenda, because we assume that WUR will have the greatest societal impact through its education and research activities. CSR is all about Impact and impact is a key term in the current strategy. Because CSR, Impact and Strategy are so closely related, especially in a university, it is important to develop new perspectives on how CSR can best be integrated into the strategy. This fits in well with WUR as an organization with a great social responsibility: at an organization like WUR you would expect CSR to be anchored in the core of the organization, so that no separate CSR strategy is needed. The article explores the various ways to embed the CSR perspective in the new Strategic Plan of the organization, describes the strengths and weaknesses of the various approaches and concludes which approach would be the most suitable for a future-proof sustainable university.

Abstract

The present work aims to calculate the economic-financial viability of using eco-friendly cups as a substitute for disposable cups, based on data from the State University of Northern Paraná. In Brazil, their recycling is not attractive from a commercial standpoint, and their inadequate disposal contaminates soils and watercourses. Nevertheless, regarding the institution, there is a high consumption of these materials in the exercise of activities and in environments serving external audiences. In this context, the replacement of disposable cups with reusable containers in the higher education institution (HEI) is an alternative to assist both sustainability and economy. The evaluation for the possible substitution consisted of an economic-financial analysis (Net Present Value - NPV) from several scenarios. As a conclusion, it can be said that this study presents an economic and sustainable alternative to the use of disposable cups within a HEI.
