The first meeting was held to gather such activities as “unimpeded campus ”,“ hazardous waste management ”and“ environmentally friendly campus” under a single roof according to the “UI GreenMetric World University Rankings” standards. Our Rector Dr. Hüseyin Çiçek had emphasized this issue with the slogan “A Sustainable University for a Sustainable Future” in the last academic term.
At the meeting International standards such as “Global Warming, Carbon Footprint, Green Transportation, and Efficient Use of Natural Resources” were discussed in order to develop an environment friendly and high quality of life campus.
As a result of the exchange of ideas, it was decided to form sub-teams consisting of relevant persons / units for each criterion in order to form the Green Campus Action Plan in Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University and to finalize the action plans in line with the report that the teams will present to the management.
Accordingly it was stated that starting from 2020, workshops will be started to improve in issues such as “Ratio of Open Areas to Total Area”,“Campus Areas covered by Forest”, “Use of Energy Efficient Devices”, “Renewable Energy Production on Campus ”,“Ratio of Total Carbon Footprint to Campus Population”, “Recycling Program for University Wastes”, “Transportation aimed at reducing private vehicles on campus”, and “Bicycle and pedestrian policy on campus”.
