Abstract
Financing projects can be considered as one of the biggest problems to reach an environmental sustainable university. Even with several successful cases spread out around the word in Higher Education Institutions, the administrative, spatial and academic heterogeneity of them, difficult the use of these examples as study case. Environmental management programs it is still in early stages in Brazilian university campus and if we consider the sustainable campus development as research field, few information exists; only few papers can be found about Brazilian cases. Therefore, this paper focus on financial aspect of sustainable campus in Brazil. In this regard, initially the paper presents three examples of successful sustainable university financing system—Green Fund UFRJ; Environmental Management System UNISINOS; and, Environmental Plan UFLA, discussing their methodology and suggesting different approaches, and then assess possible tools to planning future action and monitoring their results to increase the university commitment to the university sustainable project.
