Green Campus Center of Excellence Project
Since its opening in 2018, IBN Haldun University strives to raise awareness and increase sensitivity toward societal and environmental issues. Part of this initiative is the Green Campus project, which aims to establish a systematic and measurable sustainability principle for higher education institutions in Turkey. It encompass issues related to ecology, fair access to renewable resources for our and future generations, as well as children’s right to education.
The multi-faceted project has been adopted by IHU throughout its operation. Within the scope of the project, solar panels to produce renewable energy has been installed, rainwater is being reused, and sustainable waste-management is implemented across the IHU campus. Additionally, the university has planted trees and offer multiple green areas on campus, including an orchard, to protect and sustain nature and cultural heritage.
The Green Campus initiative has received national recognition. Based on a scoring system that considers infrastructure, energy, waste, water, transportation, and education, IHU received support from the Turkish Environment Agency for their sustainability efforts. Going forward, IHU will prioritise education and academic support activities across their campus to increase environmental awareness.
