Overview
The University acts on climate change through education, measurement and practical mitigation, within the framework of Egypt's national climate strategy.
The University pursues this goal across its teaching, its scientific research, its campus operations and its service to the community. The sections below set out how it delivers the goal, the activities held during the year, the research its academics published, and the policies that underpin its commitment.
How the University delivers this goal
- Delivers climate education and public-awareness campaigns.
- Pursues energy efficiency as its principal mitigation measure, within Egypt's national climate strategy.
- Tracks its carbon footprint across campus energy and transport.
- Plants trees and greens its campus with community partners.
- Participates in climate dialogue and collaborates with NGOs on adaptation.
Activities in 2022/23
- In November 2022, in the run-up to COP27 in Egypt, FUE and the University of Cincinnati held a joint international climate symposium addressing green buildings, carbon-dioxide reduction, renewable energy and climate adaptation, linking the University’s teaching to the global climate agenda.
