Under the auspices of Prof. Dr. Ashraf Hnijal, the SU President, the “SU Students for Egypt Community” delegation participated in the workshop organized by the Arab Academy for Science, Technology & Maritime Transport. The delegation was headed by Dr. Ahmed Mohamed Al-Dsouqi, leader of the SU students for Egypt Community and coordinator of the Unigreen project at Suez University. The workshop was organized on the topic of climate change and innovative solutions to counter its effects within the Unigreen project.

The workshop was a discussion moderated by Prof. Dr. Alaa Abdelwahed Abdelbari, Vice President of the Arab Academy of Science, Technology, and Maritime Transport for Postgraduate Affairs and Scientific Research, who thanked the SU President for supporting and responding quickly, appreciating his role and the role of the University in the project. The workshop also included several activities to encourage students to find non-traditional solutions to the issue of climate change to develop student's awareness of this important issue.

The SU President stated that this activity was part of the initiative "A new beginning for the construction of Egyptian human", which was launched days ago under the auspices of Mr. Abdelfattah el-Sisi, the Egyptian President.  Hnijal said that the pillars of this initiative include the development of the capabilities, knowledge, and skills of the Egyptian youth in various subjects, especially the issue of climate change which captured the attention of all officials of the State. Prof. Dr. Mohamed Ayman Ashour, Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, has always emphasized the need to direct practical research towards finding solutions to this pivotal issue of concern to various parts of the Earth.

This was followed by an open discussion with experts from the Environment Affairs Authority, the Red Sea Ports Authority, TEDA, the Arab Academy, and some related companies where students interacted and asked questions to experts who answered questions pointing to some factual examples of problems, ways to address them, and atypical solutions to these problems.

Then Dr. Sameh Riad, the environmental expert and the representative of Egypt at the United Nations, delivered a lecture on climate change and Egypt's significant impact on it, despite Egypt's low emissions compared to the world. Professor Hisham Mahmoud Hilal, Dean of the Institute of Maritime Postgraduate Studies of the Arab Academy of Science, Technology, and Maritime Transport, introduced a master's program entitled "Smart Environment Management and Climate Change", presented in cooperation with the European Union. The day concluded with some questions from students. These discussions and lectures come in preparation for the project's final conference.
