The research is justified by the need for educational institutions, such as IFAL, to adopt sustainable management practices to mitigate the effects of climate change, as foreseen in the National Climate Change Policy. The study focused on GHG emissions related to fuel consumption, refrigerant gases, electricity consumption, and waste generation. The results indicated an overall reduction of -7.8% in IFAL's GHG emissions, mainly due to the decrease in face-to-face activities and the maintenance of changes in work methods adopted during the COVID-19 pandemic. Direct GHG emissions (scope 1), related to the consumption of fuels and refrigerant gases, showed variations in the evaluated period (-9.1% and 20.4%, respectively). Indirect GHG emissions (scope 2), associated with electricity consumption, showed a variation of -54.8%, influenced by the reduction in face-to-face activities and the improvement in the emission factor of the National Interconnected System. Other indirect GHG emissions (scope 3), such as the generation of urban solid waste and liquid effluents, also showed an overall reduction (-2.1% and -3.4%, respectively). The study concluded that modernizations of work processes, driven by the COVID-19 Pandemic and maintained after the return to in-person activities, impacted the reduction of GHG emissions by IFAL. The research recommends the improvement of sustainable management practices, mainly through monitoring resource consumption and GHG emissions, investing in energy efficiency, optimizing transportation, and digital technologies. The adoption of these measures will contribute to consolidating IFAL's commitment to environmental sustainability and social responsibility.ptGases de Efeito EstufaInventárioEducaçãoCOVID-19Greenhouse gasInventoryEducationDissertaçãoCIENCIAS HUMANAS
