“…Their case study was carried out at the University of Northern British Columbia's Prince George campus (UNBC). In the literature, some scholars have referred to the implementation of Green Ocean initiatives in higher education as "Green Education" [53,54]. Aithal and Rao [53] examined the opportunities and challenges of moving toward green education.…”

Financing education has recently been a big concern since educational expenditure continues to rise. As a result, there will be a gradual shift away from the “unilateral approach” to funding and toward the “diversification of financing resources”. The aim of this paper is to propose an innovative strategy plan to optimize universities’ investment sources and maintain their financial sustainability. This approach was known as the Green Ocean Strategy for Financial Sustainability (GOSFS). To effectively implement GOSFS in higher education institutions, a roadmap of 18 steps is constructed around three primary key performance areas (resource development, good governance, and regulations and legislation). The GOSFS was applied within four successive stages at King Abdulaziz University as a case study. With 18 pillars found under these three key performance areas, a long-term target for 2045 and an overall goal for 2025 were defined. In addition, the paper created novel versions of the Business Model Canvas to meet the GOSFS plan concept. To effectively employ GOSFS, four recommendations are offered to accelerate business growth and engage the university investment ecosystem, including whether to invest in highly qualified human capital, expand financial resources, or leverage technical resources. Future directions are also provided.

“…When students become a part of professional life, Green, as well as sustainability, are crucial opportunities. Going Green in higher education helps enhancing public image, retaining the highly committed employees, students who value sustainability in life (Abeyrathna, 2021). There were many study in adoption green and sustainable chemistry approach (Derbenev, Dowden, Twycross & Hirst, 2022).…”

“…Sustainable development is developed with the principle of "fulfill the needs of the present without compromising meeting the needs of future generations". Sustainable development refers to use the existing resources to accomplish the needs of the present generation by saving for future generations (Abeyrathna, 2021). This principle is further formulated in the achievement target of 17 SDGs.…”

Recently the trend of words in the world is related to sustainable development such as "green" has become a new trend in everyday human life. This study aimed to analyze and map the chemistry learning with green chemistry insight for undergraduate students of chemistry education program as an effort to conserve the environment as one of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The urgency of this study is to support the achievement of SDGs through education, especially the target number 12, responsible consumption and production and/or number 13, climate action. Data collection was used in exploratory method by combining primary and secondary exploratory framework. The primary method was focused on the observation qualitative or quantitative and the secondary on the literature research. Data analysis were used qualitative and quantitative descriptive. It can be concluded that; the efforts to preserve the environment through education can be pursued with green chemistry insight learning. The principles of green chemistry that can be implemented in chemistry learning on suitable material represent in some action such as; waste prevention, use the safe solvent, energy efficiency, and creating safe and secure conditions for learning both in the classroom and laboratory. Chemistry learning have the role to support SDGs through education by using some learning model/methods, such as discussion, concept map, or practical methods as well as Project Based Learning. So, the results of this study can be referred as an alternative learning that have contribution in SDGs achievement through education.

“…Some researches examine the relationship between green and smart education in sustainable development (Nataliya, Natalya, Viacheslav, Irina, Alexandra, Nadezhda, 2018); higher education, technological innovation, and green development challenges (Zhang, Ma, & Shang, 2023). There have been a number of green education projects associated with smart education at a number of higher education institutions that have been summarized as a model for green education development in higher education (Abeyrathna, 2021;, Falsini, Gentilini, Santioli, Bagnoli, Pacini, Giovannetti, Pierini, 2022), etc. In Vietnam, green education in general, and green universities in particular, are of interest in terms of research and implementation.…”

Green university model is now developing dramastically, spreading and becoming a mainstream trend in world higher education. Main features of this trend are universities integrating sustainable development goals into their operations, implementing their mission in building a prosperous and safe society. With key solutions using modern technology and techniques, universities strive to develop smart educational ecosystems, explore natural resources to improve quality of life, and participate in combating climate change, solving ecological problems of resources and human health. A number of green university rankings have been created, becoming a place to encourage the trend of developing green university model as a breakthrough solution for smart universities. Based on the approach of content and trend of green university development, the article presents some recommendations for green development in Vietnamese universities.
