Ajman University Joins Regional Dialogue on Sustainable Resource Management

Ajman University (AU) is set to participate in a key virtual meeting of the Energy & Water Community of Practice, scheduled for September 11, 2024, underscoring its commitment to advancing sustainability and efficient resource management within the region.

The meeting agenda highlights a collaborative forum designed to foster an open discussion among member institutions. The dialogue will center on critical operational topics, including strategies for Water Leak Detection and analyzing Energy & Water charges for schools and departments. These discussions are pivotal for institutions like AU seeking to optimize utility spending and minimize environmental impact.

A significant focus of the meeting will be the collective move away from Renewable Energy Guarantees of Origin (REGOs). Participants, including Ajman University, will discuss practical advice and strategies for this transition, signaling a shift towards more direct and impactful renewable energy investments and practices.

The session will also feature an update from the Environmental Association for Universities and Colleges (EAUC), delivered by Claire Mitchell. This update will ensure that all members, including AU, are aligned with the latest developments and best practices in the global sustainability sector.

Ajman University's involvement in this community of practice positions it at the forefront of the sustainability conversation among educational institutions. By engaging in these critical discussions, the university not only gains valuable insights to enhance its own campus operations but also contributes to a broader, collective effort to promote environmental stewardship and fiscal responsibility in resource management.

The outcomes of this meeting are expected to directly inform AU's ongoing sustainability initiatives, supporting its mission to integrate eco-friendly practices across all university departments and services.
