Second Online Symposium on SDGs<\/strong><\/span><\/p>

On the 24th<\/sup>\u00a0of May 2021, the Minister of Environment of the Arab Republic of Egypt, H.E. Dr. Yasmine Fouad, participated in the symposium hosted by October University for Modern Sciences and Arts (MSA) and the Faculty of Management Sciences on \u201cThe Role of Youth in Serving Sustainable Development Issues\u201d.<\/p>

Dr. Yasmine Fouad, Minister of Environment, participated in the symposium through the video conferencing feature, in the presence of a number of university professors and students.<\/p>

During the symposium, the Minister of Environment explained that the Egyptian government attaches great importance to the environmental sector due to its great effects on all aspects of life, noting that the government seeks not only to protect the environment but also to sustain resources to ensure their survival for future generations, and there are many programs that are implemented to reduce pollution rates in all areas. Its forms include air, water, soil and other pollution. The government is also working to integrate the environmental dimension into all sectors of the state through coordination and cooperation with all ministries. The government is also aware of the importance of raising citizens\u2019 environmental awareness of various environmental issues through the Prepare for Green initiative that was launched to raise environmental awareness.<\/p>

During the symposium, the Minister of Environment answered the students\u2019 questions, through which she explained the efforts made by the ministry to limit the use of single-use plastic bags, referring to the law regulating waste management, for which the executive regulation is being worked on and which will regulate all activities related to waste in all its forms, explaining that there are about 3000 facilities working in the field of plastic manufacturing and that the decision to completely ban the use of plastic will lead to their closure and there are workers who earn their living from this profession, so the state seeks to organize that process and to work on converting these facilities to work in biodegradable plastic that does not pollute the environment, and to also find alternatives. Others are for plastic that is suitable for the daily use of citizens.<\/p>

The Minister of Environment also answered the inquiries of some students about the implementation of projects that won an international award, noting that the ministry is working on implementing a youth project in the Saluja and Ghazal Reserve, which won an international award in the field of ecotourism, explaining that the ministry provides assistance to any young man who submits a distinguished project idea to the Ministry.<\/p>

During the symposium, the Minister of Environment touched on biogas projects as a model for any young man wishing to work in the environmental field and make a financial profit. The implementation of these projects is also within the initiative of A Decent Life.<\/p>

The Minister of Environment thanked the university\u2019s faculty members for the invitation and for their interest in environmental issues and gave a lot of advice to young people on the need to preserve the environment and start with themselves. Individual behavior such as turning off unnecessary lights, turning off the tap and using bicycles is simple behavior, but it affects the overall environment.<\/p>

During the symposium, Dr. Nawal El-Degwi on her part stressed the importance of taking into account the environmental dimension due to its effects on all other fields, pointing to the students\u2019 keenness on including it in their projects and research implemented at the university, and to the university\u2019s consideration of the environmental dimension ever since its inauguration, as it was originally designed to have a large percentage of green spaces. Dr. El-Degwi added that regarding the separation of waste, a number of students in the Department of Architecture implemented a model of building bricks that were made of sand to be compatible with the environment instead of bricks that depend in their manufacture on eroding the soil, and the process of burning them during their manufacture leads to polluting the environment, and this project obtained an invention patent.<\/p>
