This section explores Universitas Surabaya’s (UBAYA) unique sustainability activities and how they help to the achievement of sustainable development goals (SDGs). UBAYA, a premier academic institution, has integrated sustainability into its fundamental operations and instructional objectives, establishing a paradigm for incorporating environmental stewardship into higher education. The goal of this research is to examine how UBAYA’s practices in renewable energy, waste management, and community participation may be expanded and duplicated, therefore providing a transformative paradigm for other institutions. The research technique comprises a thorough case study investigation of UBAYA’s Integrated Outdoor Campus (IOC) concept at the Ubaya Training Centre (UTC) in Trawas, an edu-ecotourism site that promotes sustainability via experiential learning. Key activities mentioned in this paper include UBAYA’s pioneering efforts in renewable energy, notably solar power applications geared to address Indonesia’s climate and energy concerns. The deployment of low-energy measures, such as reducing air conditioning demand at UTC Trawas, demonstrates UBAYA’s dedication to providing practical and regionally relevant solutions. Furthermore, UBAYA’s “Solarpreneur” program stands out as a substantial attempt to connect research with entrepreneurship, encouraging students and local communities to launch solar energy businesses. The university’s use of a hybrid energy system that combines solar electricity with other renewable sources and is governed by an advanced smart grid exemplifies its forward-thinking approach to energy management. In terms of waste management, the research focusses on UBAYA’s circular economy model, which emphasizes trash reduction, recycling, and compost synthesis from organic waste. Initiatives such as the Waste Bank and Pusdakota (Urban Community Empowerment Centre) go beyond campus, benefiting local communities by creating economic possibilities and encouraging social responsibility. The adoption of organic waste composting at UTC Trawas and Pusdakota demonstrates UBAYA’s commitment to fostering sustainable practices at the community level. The report continues by examining the significance of UBAYA’s IGA Green Campus designation, which recognizes the institution’s position as a pioneer in environmental sustainability and its integration with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. By documenting these practices, this research hopes to highlight UBAYA’s contributions to worldwide sustainability initiatives while also providing ideas for other institutions looking to include sustainability in their operations. The findings highlight UBAYA’s potential as a model school that combines academic brilliance and environmental stewardship, establishing it as a significant participant in achieving a greener, more sustainable future.
