Sustainable Development Unit
In line with its commitment to Sustainable Development Goals SDG’s, King Abdulaziz University established a Sustainable Development Unit under the umbrella of the Deanship of Student Affairs in 1440 AH, as KAU is interested in promoting the concept and culture of sustainable development and raising students’ awareness and understanding through sustainable initiatives and activities that are linked to Kingdom’s Vision 2030. These initiatives would enhance students’ perceptions and expand their horizons in social and environmental responsibilities. This Unit launched a student skill license program named “
Leadership in Sustainable Environmental Development License
”. Sixty male and female students were accepted in the program following specific criteria and high standard mechanisms that included establishing effective collaborations and cooperation with a group of experts. This was essential for students to encourage and qualify them to design programs and initiatives that promote sustainable environmental development within the university campus.
