Kyoto University's fourth International Symposium for Sustainable Campuses, scheduled for Monday 27 February, is themed "A firm pivot and a broad expanse of consciousness and action can advance campus sustainability: Developing wisdom from all ages and cultures like unfolding a fan".
There is a great diversity in the types of campus sustainability efforts being carried out around the world, ranging in approach from "smart" to "vernacular", the former focused on building "smart" campuses using advanced technologies, and the latter on reducing environmental impact through traditional or indigenous means. Despite their differences, however, all of these initiatives share the same goal -- making universities more sustainable. The present symposium's overall theme highlights this, likening the diversity of approaches to an unfolded paper fan (the expanse) and the shared goal to such a fan's pivot point.
The event features a keynote address by Mr Mahesh Pradhan of the United Nations Environment Programme, providing a comprehensive overview of past and present campus sustainability efforts. This will be followed by a panel discussion, in which representatives of "smart" and "vernacular" initiatives will present case reports and explore ways to integrate these and other approaches to realize a sustainable campus at Kyoto University.
All those interested are welcome to attend.
