Abstract
Race to Zero is a global campaign to rally leadership and action in the education sector in order to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions. The campaign is promoted by the United Nations Environment Programme, EAUC – The Alliance for Sustainability Leadership in Education, and Second Nature. Around 500 universities have already committed to achieving Net Zero Emissions by 2050 (see https://www. educationracetozero.org/home). In November 2021, the UPB was the first university in Bolivia to join the campaign with the goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2030, and publishing an annual report on the direct and indirect emissions of the university and the actions that are being taken to reduce the emissions. This document is the first annual report of UPB, which establishes the 2019 emissions baseline for the three UPB campuses, located in the cities of Cochabamba, La Paz and Santa Cruz de la Sierra, and the changes in emissions in 2022. The Cochabamba campus (Julio León Prado) is the oldest campus of UPB, established in 1992, and is currently the largest campus, with 2,003 enrolled students and 164 full-time employees in 2022. The La Paz campus (Fernando Illanes de la Riva) was inaugurated in 2007 and had 1,866 enrolled students and 99 full-time employees in 2022. Finally, the Santa Cruz campus was inaugurated in February 2020, a few days before the entire country went into quarantine due to the pandemic. Only in 2021 did it start operating with in-person classes, and in 2022 it had 305 students enrolled and 25 employees.
