Race to Zero for Universities and Colleges

Sriwijaya University’s Sustainability and Climate Strategy 2025-2040 affirms the university’s commitment to supporting climate action and low-carbon development in line with the Long-Term Strategy for Low Carbon and Climate Resilience 2050 (LTS-LCCR) and the Net Zero Emission Roadmap 2060 of the Ministry of Environment and Forestry of the Republic of Indonesia. This strategy also integrates the principles of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 13: Addressing Climate Change) into all academic and operational activities on campus.

Sriwijaya University continues to strengthen its commitment to global climate action through concrete steps towards a low-carbon campus. As part of its Eco Green Campus Eduwisata vision, Sriwijaya University is preparing to join the international initiative “Race to Zero for Universities and Colleges,” a global movement encouraging higher education institutions to contribute to achieving net-zero emissions.

Unsri’s participation in this initiative will expand its international network of collaborations and strengthen the university’s efforts to achieve its carbon neutrality target by 2040, in line with Indonesia’s Net Zero Emission Roadmap 2060. Through green research, renewable energy innovation, and the application of resource efficiency principles, Unsri is committed to being part of the change towards a sustainable and climate-resilient future.
