TAKE URGENT ACTION TO COMBAT CLIMATE CHANGE AND ITS IMPACTS BY REGULATING EMISSIONS AND PROMOTING DEVELOPMENTS IN RENEWABLE ENERGY
CAMPUS LIFE
USJ, through its Green Campus Environmental Action Programme, is one way we are demonstrating our commitment and making progress on Climate Action. This action programme focuses on Green Campus Operations by incorporating many green technologies, including rain water harvesting and recycling systems, ledger green strips and fins, roof gardens, low transmission glazing, cross-flow ventilation chimneys, solar electricity panels, solar hot water heating, energy recovery in ventilation systems and chillers, low consumption bulbs and LED bulbs. The aim is to create a sustainable and nature-connected campus for students and staff.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Throughout the academic year 2024-2025, USJ organised several initiatives promoting a green lifestyle and engaging the community in environmental education and activities. One of these initiatives included showcasing our environmental initiatives at the 44th Macao Green Week Carnival. We showcased our green initiatives and promoted awareness of key environmental issues. We also engaged visitors through interactive activities and highlighted collaboration with the local government – the Municipal Affairs Bureau (IAM) on conservation and ecological stewardship. Our Bachelor of Education Year 3 students hosted an Earth Day workshop for 80 participants, consisting of local primary school students. The workshop aimed to promote environmental stewardship through interactive activities and discussions.
We hosted a public lecture on Sponge City Construction in Macao. The lecture attracted a diverse audience of students, academics, and professionals from urban planning and environmental management, reflecting the local community’s growing interest in sustainable urban development solutions. Lastly, we delivered a free short course on Design and Implementation of Green Roofs and Walls. The course was free, and a certificate of participation was awarded.
