SUMMARY:

This research aimed to study the development of environmental sustainability practices at the Federal University of Cariri (UFCA). It is a case study with a mixed approach, of an applied and descriptive nature. The research was carried out under a qualitative approach, with a survey of official UFCA documents related to sustainability and a focus group with members of the sustainability management coordination. The quantitative approach aimed to measure the degree of sustainability of the HEI through the completion, by the author, of the UI GreenMetric World University Ranking questionnaire. Data collection took place through a documentary survey and data available on the official portal of the IES, as well as by requesting information from the institution's units by e-mail. The study involved 04 employees of the university's sustainability management coordination team (CGS), 06 academic units and 08 administrative units of UFCA. The GreenMetric questionnaire uses indicators related to infrastructure, energy sources, climate change, rational use of water, waste management, transport, mobility and education. As a result of the measurement, it is noteworthy that the UFCA reached 57% of the total score, having better performance in the “waste” category and worse performance in the “transport” category. From the results obtained in this study, it was possible to understand that the HEI has already carried out and are in progress several actions related to sustainability and that the theme has been strengthened in the organization. However, there is still no fully institutionalized environmental sustainability policy, which still lacks greater involvement on the part of the university's units and servers. Through the identification of the main challenges to be overcome in relation to environmental management in the institution, especially with regard to the involvement of units and servers, as well as the systematization of information and the need for greater incentives for research in the area, suggestions were made of improvements aimed at offering the HEI alternatives to advance in the institutionalization of the theme and in the adoption of good environmentally sustainable practices.
