UM Eco-Campus initiative aims to develop a novel campus-wide sustainability framework with direct support from the University of Malaya Living Labs’ outputs, which contributes toward minimizing harmful environmental impact in campus especially by decreasing the amount of carbon emission, to bring UM with another leapfrogging record to be as one of the leading eco-friendly campuses in Malaysia and in the world. UM Eco-Campus initiatives covers mainly, but not limited to, the grounds of University of Malaya’s main campus of 803.63 acres.

The initiative has transformed UM’s 800.63-acre campus, along with University of Malaya Medical Center (PPUM) 42.7-acre land, into a ‘living lab’ for translational-and-action research projects in wide-spectrum of green initiatives. Hence, UM Eco-Campus via UM Living Labs is the first project of its kind in UM and in Malaysia that enables the integration of Research & Development, demonstration and deployment of sustainability solutions on the grounds, promoting multi-inter-and-transdisciplinary research, and befits the need of community for a better campus environment.
