Sustainable Campus Initiative with EAD

Empowering Youth for a Sustainable UAE: The Sustainable Campus Initiative

The UAE recognizes the power of its young minds. The Sustainable Campus Initiative (SCI), launched by the Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi and sponsored by Borouge, capitalizes on this potential by fostering environmental leadership among university and college students aged 18-35, including those at Ajman University.

This impactful program equips future changemakers with the knowledge and tools they need to address sustainability challenges. Through participation, students gain valuable experience in:

• Green Campus Audits (GCA): Evaluating their institutions' environmental footprint.
• Sustainability Action Projects (SAP): Developing and implementing innovative solutions to reduce environmental impact.
• Green Youth Majlis (GYM): Connecting with peers, sharing best practices, and advocating for change.

SCI's multifaceted approach delivers a range of benefits:

• Mobilizes youth: Inspires students to become active participants in building a sustainable future.
• Networking opportunities: Connects students with local, regional, and international sustainability networks.
• Empowering future leaders: Provides students at Ajman University and other institutions with the skills and confidence to drive positive change.
• Engages educators and mentors: Creates learning opportunities for both students and faculty.
• Promotes action-oriented learning: Encourages students to translate knowledge into practical solutions.

By nurturing young environmental stewards, the SCI empowers the UAE's future generations to build a thriving and sustainable society, with active participation from Ajman University.
