UMPSA's EcoCampus Journey

01

Our Journey to Sustainability

Born from a strategic blueprint in 2022, the UMPSA EcoCampus initiative began its journey toward creating a greener, more sustainable university. Our commitment goes beyond simple eco-friendly practices; it's a comprehensive, top-down, and bottom-up approach to integrate sustainability into every aspect of campus life.

Our efforts are channeled through six dedicated clusters, each focusing on a critical area of environmental management. This collaborative framework allows us to address a wide range of challenges and opportunities.

  • Waste Cluster: Focused on reducing our ecological footprint through effective waste management, recycling programs, and innovative composting solutions.
  • Water Cluster: Dedicated to water conservation and the efficient management of our campus water resources.
  • Energy & Climate Change Cluster: Working to minimize our carbon footprint by promoting energy efficiency and exploring renewable energy sources.
  • Transportation Cluster: Encouraging sustainable mobility on campus by developing green transportation options and infrastructure.
  • Setting & Infrastructure Cluster: Ensuring that our buildings and grounds are designed and maintained with sustainability at the core.
  • Education & Research Cluster: Integrating eco-friendly principles into our curriculum and fostering cutting-edge research to solve real-world environmental challenges.

Together, these clusters form the backbone of our mission to not only build a sustainable campus but also to inspire a new generation of leaders committed to a greener future.

Our Global Recognition and Future Vision

Our commitment to sustainability has been recognized on a global scale. We are proud that our efforts have been acknowledged by prestigious international rankings, including the UI GreenMetric World University Rankings, The Impact Rankings, and the QS Sustainability Rankings.
