Ajman University and Greenpeace Join Forces for a Sustainable Future

We're thrilled to announce an exciting new partnership with Greenpeace for the #MENA Awards . Together, we're launching the #UAE Wellbeing Economy Award to recognize and promote sustainable development practices that foster a prosperous, inclusive, and resilient #UAE.

This groundbreaking project will focus on four key pillars:

• Well-being: Prioritizing human health and happiness
• Social Inclusivity: Ensuring equitable opportunities for all
• Environmental Sustainability: Protecting our planet for future generations
• Equitable Resource Distribution: Promoting fair and just resource allocation

By collaborating with Greenpeace, we aim to inspire innovation, drive positive change, and build a future where well-being and sustainability are at the forefront of our society.

Greenpeace is an independent global NGO and campaigning network founded in 1971. Its mission is to ensure the ability of the Earth to nurture life in all its diversity.

Greenpeace MENA (Middle East and North Africa) is a regional branch of the global environmental organization. It operates in several countries in the region, including Egypt, Lebanon, Morocco, and Tunisia. It advocates for Climate Change matters since the MENA region is particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, including rising temperatures, water scarcity, and desertification. Greenpeace MENA works to promote renewable energy, energy efficiency, and sustainable agriculture to address these challenges. Recent campaigns in the MENA region include:

• No Plastic Challenge: A campaign to encourage individuals and businesses to reduce their use of single-use plastics.
