It also reaffirms our commitment to the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network, as evidenced by our recent signing of a joint statement together with over 180 universities worldwide. We are dedicated to enhancing climate action, promoting sustainability, and empowering our students to become proactive leaders in addressing the challenges of our time.”
