    Abstract:

    China has a large number and scale of colleges and universities , which shoulder the responsibility of cultivating talents for social development. In the meanwhile, those colleges and universities are also the large consumers of energy and resources. Thus, sustainable development of university campuses is not only a mission of higher education, but also a social responsibility. The development process of Chinese universities from resource-saving campus demonstration to green campus development were reviewed in this work. The evaluation criteria systems of green campus at home and abroad were analyzed. Combined with the development goal of campus carbon neutrality, some thoughts regarding further developing the green campus evaluation system were proposed. Taking the campus carbon accounting as the starting point, the basic concept, boundary scope and accounting framework system of the campuscarbon accounting were put forword, which provided methods and support for the realization of the campus carbon neutrality goal.
