Processing Efforts and Resource Efficiency in Achieving Green Campus at the State University of Surabaya, Indonesia

Efforts to reduce global warming based on green campuses are still not widely realized. A green campus is one of the concepts to build a sustainable campus that is environmentally friendly in higher education institutions. A long-term strategy is needed to create a green campus. This study aims to describe efforts to manage and utilize resources to create a green campus area and promote it as an alternative to sustainable campus management at the State University of Surabaya (Unesa). This research is descriptive. The data collection technique was carried out using a literature study approach, collecting, classifying, analyzing, visualizing, validating data, and drawing conclusions. This study found that in realizing a green campus in universities, management actions and resource utilization were needed to initiate the presence of Unesa’s green campus, namely an eco-campus with efficient governance. The management and efficiency of resources at the State University of Surabaya have not only succeeded in bringing about efforts to manage a green campus at the institutional level but also proved that a green campus can have implications for the concept of sustainable development. This study has limitations on the sources of data obtained by the author. However, this limitation opens up opportunities for other researchers to fill it. Realizing a green campus can be an alternative solution amid global efforts to achieve SDGs goals.
