SDG 13 – Indicator 13.4.1 Commitment to carbon neutral university
Universitas Sriwijaya is targeting carbon neutrality by 2040, with gradual emission reductions every five years. This target is achieved through collaboration across the academic community in green research, renewable energy innovation, and environmentally friendly operations. UNSRI is committed to reducing GHG from the scope of direct emissions (Scope 1), indirect emission-Owned (Scope 2), and indirect emission-not Owned (Scope 3).
As a university with the “Eco Green Campus Eduwisata” identity, Sriwijaya University is transforming into a green, agro, ecological, educational, and tourism campus (Green-Agro-Eco-Edu-Tourism) to realize a World Class University and support sustainability and Net Zero Emission programs. In 2024, Sriwijaya University strengthened this program by expanding green infrastructure and solar energy systems in the campus environment. The achievements of Sriwijaya University candidates were recognized through the 19th national position and 136th worldwide in UI GreenMetric 2024.

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.
