Abstract

Higher Education Institutions (IES) play a fundamental role in implementing sustainable development practices by promoting the development of green campus. This implementation must use a systemic approach that allows the definition of representative dimensions. Different tools that allow evaluation with an integrated vision have been considered and used, as well as incorporating key components in the evaluation through the Evaluation Capacity Building (ECB). The objective of the study is to evaluate and compare the implementation of sustainable development that exists on the campus of a Mexican IES. The framework integrates the Delphi method to collect data and AHP for data analysis, both methods seals effective sustainability criteria.The results indicate the possibility of identifying and analyzing the sustainable activities in each campus to manage them and implement new criteria and indicators, the attributes of the ECB perceived as important were performed conveniently, while those perceived with less importance are identified as deficient in their performance, among the findings was found that the main criterion for developing sustainability is the environmental management factor. The study expects to contribute to the use of sustainability evaluation tools as promoters so that IES improve their sustainable performance and the practice of the ECB as an innovative agent that continuously promotes the use of these evaluations.
