Towards Sustainable Higher Education: A Framework for Implementing Green IT Strategies

The rapid development of technology highlights the growing importance of incorporating green IT concepts into organizations, including universities. As educational institutions heavily rely on information technology (IT) to facilitate teaching and learning activities, the escalating usage of IT can have detrimental effects on the environment if not managed appropriately. This research aims to develop a comprehensive framework to guide the implementation and evaluation of green IT strategies in higher education. Initially, an examination of the prevailing conditions and challenges of implementing green IT in higher education will be presented. This will be followed by the design and result of the proposed framework. The research outcomes are expected to provide valuable insights and practical guidelines for other universities seeking to adopt sustainable IT practices and reduce their environmental footprint.
