The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action by all countries - developed and developing - in a global partnership. They recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests.
Sustainability has been at the heart of the Arab Academy for Science, Technology, and Maritime Transport “AASTMT” for a very long time. The Abu-Qir campus was founded in 1993 with a vast green area of 53 acres demonstrating our environmental commitment. On the human resources level, The AASTMT has a community of approximately 30,000 students, 1500 staff, and a huge number of alumni over 50 years. At The AASTMT, we commit to teaching values of tolerance, respect of human rights and civil responsibility. We also believe in providing space for different views, allowing public attitudes to change and to mature building a space for dialogue and reviving our faith in each other and in humanity at large. The sustainable development goals represent the highest ideals that humanity has set itself to attain and The AASTMT commits itself to such ideals as well as actively participating in their attainment.
For that purpose, The AASTMT has charged leaders and units throughout campuses with spearheading the “Sustainability Initiative Project” to promote, implement, and advance the 17 UN SDGs across all its campuses.
CLC Smart Village Campus exerts immense efforts in keeping up with the SDGs. For more information, click on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjONHSdwbjA&list=PLPzGhv-x8dR6y9LmTYSNHNEF1ryVNy4vu&index=1
