Here TU Dublin PhD student Moazzam Shah Bukhari joined the Greening Higher Education Bridging SDG4 and SDG13 event organised by UNESCO IESALC.
TU Dublin Vice President for Sustainability, Jennifer Boyer, commended:
TU Dublin Sustainability is proud to support TU Dublin PhD student, Moazzam S.B. Syed, to join the United Nations Economic and Social Council Youth Forum (UN ECOSOC YF) 2024. As organisations, sectors, and nations worldwide work to achieve the UN SDGs for 2030, providing evidence of our impacts through quality data is essential to monitor progress and achieve real impact. The drive to provide SDG evidence that contribute to national and international SDG targets and indicators requires us to work, learn, and research differently. Translating new knowledge into action with the focus on measurable impact is at the heart of TU Dublin's Strategic Intent 2030. Through its people, partnerships, research, and by embedding sustainability within the curriculum, TU Dublin, joins global Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) leading to deliver on the Sustainability Agenda and 'greening' the Higher Education sector
