USP’s Environmental Policy in the SDGs Approach

The University of Sao Paulo (USP) Environmental Policy (EP) advocates the University’s environmental issues addressed in 11 different themes, implemented through Environmental Master Plans (EMPs) and Pilot Projects (PPs), respecting their specificities at each university campus. This study aimed to assess USP sustainability actions’ adherence through its EP/USP and PPs, with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) proposed by the United Nations (UN). The study was carried out using a specialist analysis consensus and the subsequent representation of associations throughout graph theory. The analysis here presented has shown USP’s environmental actions constancy to the SDGs: (i) in its EP, presenting alignments with SDGs 11 (Sustainable cities and communities), 15 (Life on land) and, 4 (Quality education); and (ii) in its PPs on different USP’s campuses, that are in agreement with SGDs 11, 15, 12 (Responsible consumption and production) and, 6 (Clean water and sanitation). The results suggest that USP develops its activities based on the green campuses management, working side by side with society to build sustainable communities and in compliance with the Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development.
