Sustainable Campus: Strategy and decision

The Sustainable Campus Strategy is conceived as a road map that includes a set of specific actions in using technologies and infrastructure development and spaces for permanent academic reflection. This is to enable the Faculty of Mines to become an agent of national transformation for the University community and a paradigm to follow in the local, national, and Latin American contexts, beyond the purposes of technological and social innovation.

The Sustainable Campus Strategy is an opportunity to consolidate the critical thinking of the entire University community in sustainability and facilitate conscious practices of sustainability within our University campus system and even turning our campuses into living labs and open classrooms to think, live and transform sustainability.

This strategy was launched in November 2019 and is composed of 7 strategic lines that holistically cover each component of the institution.

Top 3 learnings:

1. Teamwork allowed us to explore different forms of relationships with different audiences.
2. We recognize the importance of developing holistic actions from the University.
3. Each action-oriented in a sustainable framework will always have social, academic, and environmental benefits.
