Universitas Indonesia has set a moving target to achieve carbon neutrality by 2030. This commitment is supported by the establishment of the UI Institute for Net Zero Initiative (UI-NZI) in 2024, reflecting UI’s long-term strategy to become a carbon-neutral university.

Universitas Indonesia frames environmental sustainability as a core institutional priority and has begun translating that commitment into measurable actions across campus, research, and operations. Our sustainability programs emphasize energy efficiency, on‑site renewable generation, and institutional capacity building to support a net‑zero pathway; these initiatives are being coordinated with new institutional structures and research platforms that advance the energy transition and emissions reduction agenda. The 2030 target is explicitly treated as a moving target that will be refined as Universitas Indonesia improves our emissions measurement systems, scales renewable energy and efficiency investments, and evaluates the real‑world impacts of mitigation measures. Key institutional steps include strengthening campus energy management, piloting renewable installations, and establishing cross‑unit governance to translate research into operational decarbonization.

Universitas Indonesia is developing a consolidated Scope‑1 inventory for direct emissions from campus‑owned sources such as on‑site combustion and university vehicles; several faculties and operational units have begun local inventories and mitigation pilots, and a campus‑wide Scope‑1 consolidation is underway. Universitas Indonesia’s most robust, published accounting today covers Scope‑2 (purchased electricity) which is the largest single contributor to our institutional footprint. Universitas Indonesia is actively reducing that share through efficiency upgrades and increased renewable generation. 

Work on Scope‑3 (procurement, travel, commuting, waste, and other indirect upstream/downstream emissions) is partial but continuously expanding. We are piloting faculty‑level footprinting, revising procurement and travel policies to capture upstream impacts, and integrating Scope‑3 considerations into our net‑zero roadmap so that broader categories are progressively included in future inventories. Together these efforts mean Universitas Indonesia currently reports and manages Scope‑2 comprehensively, is closing gaps in Scope‑1, and is building partial but growing Scope‑3 coverage as part of a staged, GHG‑aligned approach to reach our net‑zero objective 

In partnership with Universitas Indonesia’s Center for Sustainability and Waste Management (CSWM UI), the following are our carbon emissions data for 2024.
