SDG Library Exhibition: SDG 7 Affordable and Clean Energy
SDG 7.4.1
In conjunction with every annual Local Action for Global Goals campaign, the University hosted this year's public SDG Exhibition at the University library. With free admission, students, staff and the general public alike visited the exhibition to learn more about what each SDG truly stands for as well as the world's progress in reaching the goal.
This library exhibition aims to educate the community on how to care and be conscious about water as a finite resource. With the use of a poster canvas, visitors can learn what the current pressing issues surrounding water management are, as well as what steps to take next.
SDG 7: Affordable and Clean Energy is an area our University is particularly proud of in terms of our achievements. The exhibition showcases the meaning of SDG 7 through an elaboration on its matrices as well as how this goal can be further improved based on our current achievements.
The poster is plastered on a canvas for the audience to walk into the library and gain a deeper understanding of this SDG all while the annual Local Action for Global Goals campaign is taking place across the campus.
The importance of fostering sustainable energy in our country was presented through economic development where reliable energy can meet the demands for energy commodities. Environmental sustainability promotes energy efficiency across many different sectors which can be seen in the University's Environmental Sustainability Policy. This SDG also pushes for energy security in our country such as actively moving away from fossil fuels and non-renewable sources of energy.
The poster displays the University's efforts to reduce energy consumption and use of renewable sources of energy.
The Solar Panel project that took place in 2018 has successfully reduced the Sunway campus electricity bill.
The University has also actively designed our campus to be pedestrian-friendly by ensuring connected walkways across buildings inside as well as accessible pathways leading outside the University. There are no roads within the campus to promote a safer carbon-free mode of transport for the entire campus community including guests and visitors who have easy access into our University.
This educational learning experience inspires demand from our campus community to partake and better our initiatives for more energy-efficient operations.
