Sharjah24: Susan Mumm, Chancellor of American University of Sharjah (AUS), spoke exclusively to "Sharjah 24" about the university's prominent role in educating students about climate change and implementing practical strategies to reduce carbon emissions in the UAE during the university's Climate Action Plan Exhibition.

"The AUS University is strongly devoted to doing everything possible to address significant concerns and to take action on climate change," she stated. We think that as a university, we have a responsibility to not only undertake climate change research, but also to model climate change in our operations and to aid other entities in the region in achieving their climate change goals through our support.

She went on saying, “Because universities are entrusted with educating the next generation, we believe that it is critical that we do all possible to assist the UAE in reducing its emissions in order to meet its 2050 climate targets."
