At Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD), our unwavering dedication to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030 is evident in our holistic approach. Aligned with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, our initiatives focus resolutely on people, the planet, and partnerships. Recognising the SDGs as a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity, we foster a global partnership for change, uniting countries, sectors, and stakeholders for a common purpose.
Our commitment to sustainable impact extends beyond education. UBD serves as a national institute for sustainable development, addressing SDG indicators on multiple fronts. Starting with education, we empower the next generation to contribute to building a sustainable future. Through insightful research, we confront national and global sustainability challenges, striving to find innovative solutions that positively impact communities near and far.
UBD takes pride in the significant impact of our research endeavours, which are conducted in collaboration with esteemed partner universities worldwide. From environmental and biodiversity preservation to promoting sustainable tourism, our faculty members actively engage in international research teams. This collaborative effort translates into tangible solutions that benefit societies at all levels, driving us towards the achievement of the SDGs. By harnessing knowledge and creativity, our researchers and students tackle challenges posed by climate change, contributing proactively to the pressing needs of our planet.
UBD actively participates in SDG-focused actions and events, demonstrating our commitment to real-world impact. From organising awareness campaigns to hosting conferences that bring together experts and stakeholders, we strive to amplify the importance of sustainable development. These initiatives serve as platforms for dialogue, knowledge exchange, and collaborative efforts, aligning with our goal to contribute meaningfully to the global pursuit of the SDGs. Through these actions and events, we aim to inspire positive change and foster a collective commitment to a sustainable and inclusive future.
The establishment of the university SDG committee marks a pivotal moment in the university’s journey towards embedding sustainability into all aspects of the university’s functions. Comprising 13 members, including esteemed leaders from faculties, research centres, and administrative offices, alongside representation from the national SDG coordination committee, the committee’s leadership is entrusted to the Assistant Vice Chancellor of Research.
The inclusion of senior figures from diverse university offices ensures that sustainability becomes deeply ingrained in teaching, research, and day-to-day functions, spanning across disciplinary boundaries. This collaborative, multidisciplinary approach is fundamental for tackling the intricate challenges posed by sustainability, fostering innovative solutions through holistic problem-solving.
Moreover, the participation of members from the Secretariat to the Special National Coordination Committee on SDGs Brunei Darussalam underscores the university’s commitment to harmonising its sustainability endeavours with national priorities. This symbiotic relationship facilitates invaluable exchanges of knowledge, resources, and support, nurturing a mutually reinforcing partnership between the university and the broader national sustainability framework.
In essence, the formation of the university SDG committee represents a proactive declaration of the institution’s dedication to sustainability. It serves as a testament to its resolve in spearheading sustainable development internally while synergistically aligning with national objectives, thereby paving the way for a more resilient and responsible future.
