SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOAL 14

SDG 14 Report (2021-2022)

Sustainable Development Goal 14, also known as SDG 14, is about conserving and sustainably using the oceans, seas, and marine resources for sustainable development. This goal recognizes the importance of our oceans and seas, which cover 70 percent of our planet. They are essential to our existence as we rely on them for food, energy, and water. SDG 14 aims to Support aquatic ecosystems through education, support aquatic ecosystems through actions, uphold water quality to protect ecosystems, wildlife, and human health and welfare, and maintain local ecosystems. In this context, The Arab Academy for Science, Technology, and Maritime Transport (AASTMT) demonstrates its steadfast commitment to Sustainable Development Goal 14 (SDG 14) by familiarizing its staff members and students with it and including the necessary knowledge within the related educational programs, Curricula, and specialized courses and events. Although SDG14 is supported widely within the AASTMT maritime educational sector, AASTMT firmly believes that SDG14 is not limited to the maritime sector and promoting it to all AASTMTs’ campuses and colleges. This dedication fosters a motivated and professional workforce, aligning with SDG 14's principles. The faithful implementation of SDG 14 is our best hope for remedying the ocean’s challenges. It’s the only globally agreed roadmap for the conservation and sustainable management of marine resources.
