Abstract
Universities are regarded as reference institutions for the expansion of cultural and environmental activities. They are crucial to the advancement of sustainability as they advocate for a development pattern that would be compatible with ecological balance, biodiversity, and intergenerational fairness. In response to the rise in enrollment, CU has created a sustainable expansion plan for its campus. Because students will return to their communities and educate them about sustainability, universities are seen as the best places to apply the principle. Recently, Cairo University established a sustainability office as a governance framework to develop and implement sustainability action plans and to regularly measure and report overall progress towards its aim of a sustainable campus. This paper includes Cairo University’s efforts to transform the campus into a more sustainable society using UI GreenMetric categories. The present study shows the extent of Cairo University’s commitment to achieving the United Nations sustainable development goals, as well as Egypt’s Vision 2030. In all areas, including setting and infrastructures, energy, water and wastes, Cairo University supports the fundamental principles of sustainability and green development.
