2012 Symposium | Power of Partnership
Case Study Description• Methods / Approachi. Campus as a Living Laboratory (Evans 2011).ii. Provide a conducive and sustainable system for behavioral changes using the 4E approaches (Enable, Encourage, Engage , Exemplify) (Jackson 2005).iii. LCCF (Low Carbon City Framework) & Assessment to monitor GHG emission reduction & a model of Low Carbon City (2012 onwards).
• Stakeholders InvolvementTo be part of the national environment initiatives and support the GHG target reduction 40% by 2020 (Tenth Malaysian Plan).i. Private partnership : Private Solid Waste Management Concessionaire for Southern
Region of Malaysia for Recycling.ii. Public Partnership : ad-hoc community sustainable initiatives.iii. Government partnership : Department of Environment, Ministry of Natural Resources
and Environment. Ministry of Energy, Green Technology and Water.
2012 Symposium | Power of Partnership
4E approaches by Jackson (2005) is applied to build a
Culture of Sustainability of the UTM Sustainable Campus
Society.
ENVIRONMENT• Enhancing sustainable consumption of available resources• Minimizing waste and pollution through effective waste
management • Introducing more local flora and fauna to protect and enrich
biodiversity• Maintaining a healthy balance between developed and
green areas to achieve campus eco-system vitality• Augmenting the conservation of wetland features to
support habitats and recreational water activities• Promoting low-carbon practices among campus community• Eliminating non-biodegradable food and beverage packaging
SOCIO-CULTURAL• Promoting community spirit and enhancing quality
of life, responsive to local and global context in a harmonious and conducive environment
• Instilling integrity and ethical values through volunteerism and continuous commitment at all levels of community
• Encouraging activities that appreciate the existing natural environment
• Promoting a healthy and active lifestyle with a secure environment
ECONOMICS•Adopting green building and infrastructure design through a clear sustainable development framework to achieve cost effectiveness
•Optimizing university assets and sustainable business opportunities to promote economics viability
•Achieving efficiency in operational management of resources and facilities
•Strategize the provision of adequate financial resources to ensure the smooth implementation of the policies

the Way Forward
• Lessons Learned : Providing the sustainable working environment requires more than motivating active involvement of the staff in Sustainable Campus initiatives. The challenge is to integrate the initiatives into their day-to-day work and life and the art of building the Sustainable Culture in our society. The successful implementation of university’s academic program could be affected by inadequate facilities (quality and quantity).
• Key Questions : How can we integrate the existing Sustainable Campus Initiatives with the students’ academic activities? The challenge is to bridge the gap between the operation part of the campus and the academia / students’ activities. How to prioritize campus development with a financial and time frame constraint?
• Future Actions : Strengthening our capacity building that cover the academia, non-
academic staff and the student in order to implement the sustainability programs in solving real campus issues. Future campus development through private partnership and initiatives.
