Identification Of Best Elements For Practices In Developing Environmental Sustainability Assessment Index

The 1990 Talloires Declaration has increased awareness of the need to preserve the environment. Thenceforth, various initiatives have been undertaken by parties keen in forging a more sustainable environment for future generations. The main objective set for this study is to develop an environmental sustainability assessment index for campuses. In the effort to ensure that environmental sustainability runs concurrent with the development of human capital at university campuses, it is crucial to identify the best elements for practices. In the effort to achieve this objective, content analysis technique along with validity and reliability test were conducted. These methods involve consolidating, extracting, and analysing the sustainability index that are being applied at various universities globally between 1990 and 2010. Only seven elements passed the cut-off value. The best elements identified for practical implementation in sustainability assessment are waste, administration involvement, transportation, energy, education, and water.
