In the relentless pursuit of Sustainable Development Goal 13, the Arab Academy for Science, Technology & Maritime Transport (AASTMT) has placed significant emphasis on meticulously tracking and managing its carbon footprint. The evaluation and management of our carbon emissions are integral to our strategy for mitigating climate change impacts. Under Indicator 13.2.1, we have concentrated our efforts on comprehensively tracking low-carbon energy across our campuses, a commitment that is demonstrably reflected in our detailed carbon footprint analyses, the development of our Climate Action Plan, and our active participation in global sustainability initiatives like the Race to Zero campaign.
Our endeavor to understand and manage our environmental impact led to the comprehensive assessment of the AASTMT campus carbon footprint for the period 2018-2021. This extensive analysis provides a clear picture of our emissions, helping us identify key areas for improvement and track our progress in reducing our carbon footprint.
