Objectives:
Assessing the commitment of universities to environmental sustainability in various functions of institutions in order to provide an outline for UiO to measure :
How Green it has been so far?
What is the next step?

Steps:
Identify the Problem
Identify other Universities with Similar Process
Identify Remarkable Examples
Survey the Universities to Assess Environmental Sustainability (ES) Commitments
Identify the Best Green Practice
Implement the Best Green Practice

Survey Universities to Assess ES Commitments
Methodology:Content analyzing of 20 universities around the worldData was collected from English website of Universities from June to August 201050 indicators were designed based on Declarations, universities function model and previous assessment tools (i.e.The Luneburg Sustainable University Project by Bringer.A , 2007)
No interval scale
