This study focuses on quantifying the carbon footprint generated by non-academic activities at Diponegoro University, Indonesia. The carbon footprint study at Diponegoro University divides into three scopes, which are emissions from sources that are owned or controlled directly by the university, indirect emissions from electricity consumption, and other indirect emissions. Scope one covers clean water treatment, scope two includes electricity usage, while scope three involves wastewater and waste disposal in the campus area as a result of non-academic activities. The calculated emissions include CO 2 , CH 4 and N 2 O expressed in TonCO 2 -eq. The carbon footprint resulting from non-academic activities at Undip is 13, 945.55 TonCO 2 -eq. The most significant carbon footprint contributors comes from electricity activities with a total carbon footprint of 13, 857.798 TonCO 2 -eq, followed by wastewater and water supply activities.
