The Cuajimalpa campus of the Autonomous Metropolitan University (UAM) is located in the western region of Mexico City. In 2016, its global average population (students, faculty and staff) was around 2750 people. Campus policies include sustainability as one of its main aims. To evaluate and eventually reduce the environmental impact of the campus, its greenhouse gas (GHG) inventory was assessed and the carbon footprint was calculated, using the GHG protocol (GHGP): Scope 1: direct GHG emissions; Scope 2: indirect GHG emissions; and Scope 3: other indirect GHG emissions, on a calendar year basis. Scope 1 includes mobile and stationary sources and leakage of refrigerants; Scope 2 includes electrical energy usage; Scope 3 includes consumption of paper, food, water, gases, cleaning products, solvents, wastewater treatment, municipal and hazardous wastes and academic travel. In 2016, the campus produced around 3000 tons of CO2 equivalent, with Scope 1, 2 and 3 accounting for 4%, 24% and 72%, respectively. Emissions analysis by activity indicated 51% for commuting; 24% for electricity usage; 14% for academic travel; 11% for other activities. The inventory will aid the establishment of policies for reduction and mitigation of GHG, resulting in environmental and potential economic benefits.

墨西哥城一所公立大学校园的碳足迹

自治城市大学(UAM)的Cuajimalpa校园位于墨西哥城的西部地区。2016年,其全球平均人口(学生,教职员工)约为2750人。校园政策将可持续性作为其主要目标之一。为了评估并最终减少校园对环境的影响,使用温室气体协议(GHGP)评估了其温室气体(GHG)清单并计算了碳足迹:范围1:直接温室气体排放;范围2:间接温室气体排放;范围3:以日历年为基础的其他间接温室气体排放量。范围1包括移动源和固定源以及制冷剂的泄漏;范围2包括电能的使用;范围3包括纸张,食物,水,气体,清洁产品,溶剂,废水处理,城市和危险废物以及学术旅行。2016年,校园生产了约3000吨二氧化碳2个等效项,范围1、2和3分别占4%,24%和72%。按活动进行的排放分析表明通勤的占51%;用电量的24%;14%用于学术旅行;其他活动占11%。该清单将有助于制定减少和减少温室气体的政策,从而带来环境和潜在的经济利益。
