Currently, UI is focusing on efforts to manage aquatic ecosystems in the process of supporting Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) point 14, namely Marine Ecosystems, through water conservation efforts.

Supporting this step, sustainable efforts are also being carried out, such as energy savings by implementing efficiency-based strategies in each facility. Then, forest conservation, namely the maintenance of the West Wales Zone and East Wales Zone which have various tree vegetation as water catchment areas for Depok City. Furthermore, the development of New Renewable Energy which is spread across several locations in the UI area, as well as strengthening transportation integration through collaboration between UI and Transjakarta to present electric vehicle-based buses that will support the mobility of campus residents.
