SDG15 Report (2022/2023)

AASTMT recognizes its leadership role in utilizing the campus as an educational tool to promote sustainability awareness, particularly addressing the global concern of biodiversity loss outlined in the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal 15 (SDG 15). This goal emphasizes the protection, restoration, and sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainable forest management, combating desertification, and halting and reversing land degradation and biodiversity loss.

In response to these SDGs, AASTMT has incorporated them into its business models and initiatives. The institution actively implements sustainable practices that align with SDG 15, supporting land ecosystems, conserving biodiversity, and ensuring the sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems. AASTMT's commitment extends to educational initiatives, policy implementation, collaboration, waste management, and conservation efforts within its campuses and immediate environment.

For the academic year 2020/2021, AASTMT has formulated a comprehensive action plan, specifically tailored to achieve the objectives outlined in SDG 15. This plan encompasses instructional initiatives, policy execution, collaborative efforts, waste management strategies, and conservation activities within the campuses of the Arab Academy for Science, Technology, and Maritime Transport (AASTMT) and its surrounding areas.
