Climate Action

Universitas Nahdlatul Ulama Surabaya (Unusa) stands at the forefront of sustainability in higher education, spearheading initiatives that support low-carbon energy use, environmental education, and climate action. Guided by the values of environmental stewardship and social responsibility, Unusa has integrated climate-focused policies and practices throughout the university, reflecting its dedication to mitigating climate change and promoting sustainable development.

Central to UII’s approach is a commitment to renewable energy and green infrastructure. Through the development of energy-efficient buildings and renewable energy projects, such as solar panel installations and the establishment of green zones on campus, Unusa is actively working to reduce its carbon footprint. These initiatives align with international sustainability frameworks, including the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which call for urgent climate action and the adoption of low-carbon energy solutions.

UII’s educational programs play a crucial role in empowering students and the community to address environmental challenges. The university offers courses and degrees focused on sustainable development, particularly through its Department of Environmental Engineering and the Department of Architecture. These programs cultivate a deep understanding of environmental issues, preparing graduates to contribute meaningfully to the fight against climate change. Unusa also extends environmental literacy beyond campus borders through community outreach programs, where knowledge on sustainable practices is shared with local communities, policymakers, and other stakeholders.

Recognizing that meaningful climate action requires collective effort, Unusa has formed partnerships with government bodies, non-governmental organizations, and international institutions to drive impact. Collaborative research on renewable energy, sustainable urban planning, and ecosystem management exemplifies UII’s proactive approach to building sustainable solutions. These partnerships foster a holistic approach to climate action, encouraging multi-sectoral engagement and knowledge sharing.

Unusa initiatives in low-carbon energy, environmental education, and climate action reflect its core mission of fostering a sustainable future. Through these efforts, UII not only fulfills its responsibility as an educational institution but also exemplifies a model of environmental leadership, inspiring others to join in the global movement towards a greener, more resilient planet.
