Sakarya University adopts a comprehensive sustainability strategy aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions across Scope 1, 2, and 3 categories. Direct emissions (Scope 1) are minimized through the use of natural gas for heating and by reducing electricity consumption for cooling via centralized ventilation systems. The promotion of electric vehicles on campus, implementation of a permit-based access control system, and the use of solar panels to generate renewable energy further support emission reduction goals. Some of the university’s electricity (Scope 2) is supplied by a nearby natural gas combined-cycle power plant, contributing to indirect emissions associated with purchased electricity. In terms of Scope 3 emissions, the university encourages the use of public transportation, electric bicycles, and scooters, while its Zero Waste Program targets reductions in solid waste generation. Water and energy consumption across campus buildings are closely monitored, and non-potable water is utilized for landscape irrigation. Additionally, the university fosters awareness through education campaigns and supports student-led innovation through SAITEM, a research community that develops sustainable technologies such as solar and electric vehicles. With this integrated approach, Sakarya University demonstrates a strong commitment to climate action and environmental stewardship.
