The Hasanuddin University Faculty of Engineering in Gowa is the largest engineering campus in South Sulawesi. The lecture activities are very complex which are not only teaching and learning but also households and offices activities. Therefore, it is important to know the mapping of existing carbon footprint on the campus due to the complexity of the campus activities. The purpose of this study is to determine the level and mapping of the carbon footprint on campus. The method used is to halve emissions into primary and secondary carbon footprint emissions. The results of this study indicate that the greatest emissions is generated from the secondary carbon emissions which is electricity consumption amounting to 1,315,429.63 KgCO2/Year, and the lowest emissions is resulted from the use of paper at 49.39 kgCO2/Year. For the buildings the highest CO2 emissions is generated from the Architecture Department building at 289,176.26 KgCO2/year and the lowest CO2 emissions is generated from the Naval B Department building at 20,599.20 KgCO2/year. The mitigation scenario in reducing CO2 emissions effectively is by implementing Earth Hour for 1 hour every month which can reduce electricity consumption by 582,541.78kWh/Year and CO2 emissions at 164,428.70 KgCO2/year. The effective scenario to decrease waste is by implementing 3R with 2% waste reduction which is 167,332.79 Kg/Year and emissions CO2 are 4,772.41 KgCO2/Year.
