SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production

The Club Festival: Recycling for a Greener Future

SEPTEMBER 2024

UDST Club Festival 2024 aligned with SDG 12, focusing on sustainability and waste reduction. Held twice during the year, it showcased recycled materials in decorations and activities. The event emphasized the importance of responsible consumption and production, inspiring attendees to adopt eco-friendly practices and reduce environmental impact.

Aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Qatar Vision 2030, the festival served as a dynamic platform for students to demonstrate how small actions can lead to substantial impacts. The theme not only showcased the clubs’ ingenuity but also highlighted the University’s dedication to fostering a culture of sustainability across campus.

Each booth was a testament to the power of collaboration and environmental consciousness. From repurposed pop bottles, paper and plastics to upcycled fabrics and eco-friendly displays, the festival was a vivid reminder of the possibilities that arise when creativity meets purpose. These student-led initiatives underscored the importance of sustainability in our everyday lives, reflecting a global movement towards responsible consumption and production.
