30 July 2025 – UI GreenMetric successfully hosted its Regional Info Session for universities in Central Asia, East Asia, Southeast Asia, and Australia, further reinforcing its commitment to strengthening sustainability action and cooperation across diverse regions in the Asia-Pacific.
This important session gathered university leaders, sustainability officers, and academic professionals from across the region, offering a platform to engage with the latest developments in the UI GreenMetric framework and to promote collective efforts toward sustainable campus transformation.
The event opened with welcoming remarks from Dr. Vishnu Juwono, SE, MIA, Chairperson of UI GreenMetric, who emphasized the significance of regional collaboration in achieving shared sustainability goals. He noted that the Asia-Pacific region is home to some of the most dynamic and committed higher education institutions, whose leadership and innovation are crucial in advancing the global sustainability agenda.
The session was moderated by Shabrina Hikmah, Coordinator of Program, Communication, and Partnership at UI GreenMetric, who guided the program seamlessly and ensured participant engagement throughout the webinar.
The information session was led by Prof. Ir. Gunawan Tjahjono, M.Arch., Ph.D., a distinguished reviewer of UI GreenMetric, who delivered an in-depth presentation covering:
• Key updates for UI GreenMetric 2025, including revisions to methodology and guidance for data submission
• Strategies for aligning institutional practices with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
• Practical insights for enhancing sustainability performance in areas such as infrastructure, waste, water, energy, education, and research
An interactive Q&A session allowed participants to submit questions via the Q&A box, many of which were addressed by Prof. Gunawan with expertise and clarity. The variety and depth of the questions reflected the region’s growing engagement with sustainability challenges and readiness to implement effective solutions within their respective institutions.
This regional session also underscored the diversity and shared purpose of universities across Central Asia, East Asia, Southeast Asia, and Australia, reaffirming their role as critical drivers of change in the sustainability movement. By participating in UI GreenMetric, these institutions contribute not only to the improvement of their own sustainability practices but also to the broader transformation of higher education worldwide.
