Campus Sustainability

Campus Sustainability, a Global Concern

Universities can nowadays be regarded as "small cities" due to their large size, population, and the various complex activities taking places in campus, which have some serious direct and indirect impacts on the environment. Hence, campus sustainability has become an issue of global concern for university policy makers and planners as result of realization of the impacts the activities and operations of universities have on the environment.
