| What is the goal of sustainable development? | meets “the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs’ | ©0000 PREAMBLE The 1972 Conference on the Human Environment held in Stockholm put forward the concept of green school to draw attention to the education of environment protection. The United Nation’s World Commission on Environment and Development Report of 1987 gave the concept of sustainable development which meets “the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs’. It was opposed to the economic development based on only growth considerations which led to environmental threats, ranging from pollution, acid rain, deforestation and desertification, the destruction of the ozone layer, to early signs of climate change. In 1990, the Talloires Declaration at an international conference in France becomes the first official statement made by university administrators of a commitment to environmental sustainability in higher education. | 313 | definition | 0.980 | The United Nation’s World Commission on Environment and Development Report of 1987 gave the concept of sustainable development which meets “the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs’. | ||||

| Why might universities have a significant impact on the environment? | the high usage of energy, water, extensive transportation, massive waste, high consumption of materials, and extensive development of infrastructure including buildings and facilities | The Declaration highlights the function of the university campuses as an experimental model for sustainability. Universities may themselves significantly impact to the environment due to the high usage of energy, water, extensive transportation, massive waste, high consumption of materials, and extensive development of infrastructure including buildings and facilities. Therefore, the development of “sustainable” or “green” HEI (Higher Education Institutions) campuses can serve as both an experiment in progress and an ideal tool for educating future generations as well as a model for society. | 187 | relationship | 0.970 | Universities may themselves significantly impact to the environment due to the high usage of energy, water, extensive transportation, massive waste, high consumption of materials, and extensive development of infrastructure including buildings and facilities. | 9 | page=9,ocr=1 | 0.800 | valid |

| What does current scientific understanding say about humanity's effect on Earth's ecological systems? | humanity is rapidly altering the Earth’s ecological sys- tems and consuming its natural resources in an unsustainable way | New Delhi November, 2019 Current scientific understanding indicates that humanity is rapidly altering the Earth’s ecological sys- tems and consuming its natural resources in an unsustainable way. Resolving this crisis will require total system transformation by adopting the principles of sustainability. Respect for life and living within limits are two core principles to achieve this. We believe that higher education is in a unique po- sition to lead this transformation. In fact, in the recent age, sustainability has become a critical re- quirement for Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) campuses. HEIs need to foster a culture of sustain ability and promote green lifestyles in the campus community through curricular, co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. | 73 | summary | 0.970 | New Delhi November, 2019 Current scientific understanding indicates that humanity is rapidly altering the Earth’s ecological sys- tems and consuming its natural resources in an unsustainable way. | 5 | page=5,block=0 | ||

| What needs to be established for campus sustainability programs to be effective? | clear strategies and goals must be set and a comprehensive approach needs to be taken | For meaningful and successful campus sustainability programs, clear strategies and goals must be set and a comprehensive approach needs to be taken which not only integrate the built environment but also goes beyond it and touches every aspect of learning, working, and living in campus. Creation of a campus compatible with the surrounding natural and cultural environments, integration of sus- tainable features into new building designs by adopting green building norms, enhancement of water and energy use efficiency, utilization of materials, services and technologies with less negative envi- ronmental impacts, efficient solid waste management are a few steps which are essential for campus sustainability. the first step in the direction needs to be sustainability initiatives tied to overall institutional strategy. We understand that each (HEIs) has its unique environment and resources. | 62 | summary | 0.970 | For meaningful and successful campus sustainability programs, clear strategies and goals must be set and a comprehensive approach needs to be taken which not only integrate the built environment but also goes beyond it and touches every aspect of learning, working, and living in campus. |
