As part of its firm commitment to environmental sustainability and to the role of academic institutions in serving society, Al Arab University took an active part in the “Green Spark” forum held to mark World Environment Day, organized and sponsored by the Libya Al-Karama Party with the participation of several other organizations.
Dr. Manal Al-Fitouri represented the university and delivered a scientific contribution on its behalf, highlighting the university’s academic vision and its role in raising environmental awareness and supporting green initiatives.
To strengthen institutional partnerships, Dr. Fawzia Al-Mahalli, Director of the university’s International Cooperation Office, worked to build cooperation between the university and the event’s organizers. These efforts led to the launch of a joint six-month work program, including a series of educational seminars and specialist workshops in which the university will play a central role in supporting environmental efforts.
The forum was attended by representatives of the Health and Environment Committee of the Libyan House of Representatives, the Ministry of Environment, the Competition and Anti-Monopoly Council, the Benghazi Municipality Cleaning Services Department, the Libyan Center for Climate Research and the Al Arab Academy for Graduate Studies and Research, as well as academics, researchers, journalists and graduate students.
The forum included speeches, scientific presentations and specialist discussions on climate change, the sustainable management of natural resources, the role of scientific research and national institutions in developing practical solutions to current environmental challenges, and strengthening partnership among all those concerned with the environment.
