This study explores strategies for the construction of low-carbon campuses in Chinese universities under the framework of sustainable development and finds that there is a significant lack of awareness and participation among college students in low-carbon education and practice. Through a questionnaire survey of college students in Hubei Province, the study analyzes students' awareness, attitudes, and behaviors regarding low-carbon campuses, revealing issues faced by universities in promoting the low-carbon transition, such as inadequate infrastructure, insufficient integration of educational content, and limited student participation. In response to these challenges, the study proposes several feasible suggestions, including strengthening low-carbon infrastructure (such as the introduction of clean energy and optimization of intelligent power systems), integrating low-carbon education into the curriculum system, promoting experiential learning through green activities, and creating a campus culture of environmental protection. The study believes that by cultivating college students' low-carbon behavior habits and environmental awareness, universities can not only contribute to the achievement of the "dual carbon" goals but also become a key force in promoting sustainable development throughout society. This study provides theoretical support and practical guidance for the transition of universities to sustainable campuses and offers a reference for other educational institutions to achieve low-carbon development goals.
