2024 Newsletters

In this edition, we introduce our 2024 Board Members who are committed to driving change towards a more sustainable future. Each member brings a unique perspective to our cause, which is evident in their personal statements shared in the newsletter.

The newsletter outlines the events hosted in February. It was a very active month, we are really happy for the active participation of KAUST community in our activities.

We also introduce a new section called "Eco-hero of the Month," where we aim to spotlight individuals or organizations within our community who are making significant strides towards sustainability. We encourage nominations from our community members to help us acknowledge and celebrate these eco-heroes.

If you're interested in getting involved or have any questions, feel free to reach out to us. Your support and participation are invaluable!
