Resumen
En el presente trabajo investigativo se plantea la elaboración del cálculo de la huella de carbono de la de la Facultad de Comunicación Social de la Universidad de Guayaquil del 2022, para determinar qué actividades dentro de la institución educativa generan mayor emisión de gases de efecto invernadero, esto permitirá establecer estrategias de reducción y mitigación de las emisiones que demuestren un compromiso con la sostenibilidad y responsabilidad ambiental, con el fin de cumplir este objetivo se utilizó la metodología GHG Protocol, la cual clasifica las actividades de las organizaciones en directas e indirectas de acuerdo a tres tipos de alcances. Obteniendo, así como resultado, que la Facultad de Comunicación Social emite 565,72 Toneladas de CO2 equivalente y se estableció que las actividades que conforman el alcance 1 representan el 57% de las emisiones de GEI en la unidad educativa.
