SDG 7 - AFFORDABLE AND CLEAN ENERGY
UNP is taking bold strides to champion SDG #7 – Affordable and Clean Energy. The University is walking the walk with smart, energy-efficient building designs that maximize natural light, and cut down on air conditioning needs. Solar panels are sprouting up across campus, with plans for even more, while solar-powered street lights keep the grounds safe, and well-lit at night.
But UNP’s commitment goes beyond infrastructure. They’re nurturing the next generation of clean energy innovators through their curriculum. Engineering, and tech students are diving into exciting renewable energy projects, exploring everything from wind, and solar power to bioenergy technologies. These are not just theoretical — these students are cooking up real-world solutions that could shape the future of energy.
The University is also shaking up campus transport with electric bikes, offering a greener alternative to gas-guzzlers. UNP is pushing the boundaries of energy research, delving into cutting-edge areas like energy-efficient technologies for industry, and buildings, and innovative energy storage solutions.
From smart building designs to hands-on student projects, UNP is proving that Universities can be powerhouses for clean energy progress. They’re not just teaching about a sustainable future – they’re actively building it, one solar panel and research project at a time.
UNP’s commitment to SDG #7 is more than just a goal – it’s woven into the very fabric of the University. They’re not just preparing students for the future; they’re empowering them to create a cleaner, more sustainable world for all.
