Climate change is an issue constantly within the main focus of environmental discussions, caused by the constant rise of greenhouse gas emissions which in turn causes rise in global temperatures. Kampus Jatinangor Institut Teknologi Bandung is currently undergoing developments towards an “eco-campus” status. Therefore, it is necessary to determine and develop mitigation plans for the amount of greenhouse gases emitted from every sector of activity in Kampus ITB Jatinangor. This research aims to inventarize every source of greenhouse gas emission in Kampus ITB Jatinangor, along with the amount of greenhouse gas emitted by every source, and also provide possible greenhouse gas mitigation alternatives. Based on guidelines from the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), research was done on three scopes of activity: scope 1 encompasses activities directly managed by the campus (canteen activities, shuttle usage, water production, wastewater management, waste composting), scope 2 (electricity usage), and scope 3 encompasses activities not directly managed by the campus (student transportation, lecturer transportation, and inorganic waste management). Kampus ITB Jatinangor is estimated to release 3,400.68 ton-CO2eq of greenhouse gas emissions each year. Alternatives pertaining to four different activity sectors are recommended to help reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions, with sequestration from the campus’ arboretum being the most effective (reducing 42.92% of total emissions).
