The Sustainable Development Goals, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provide a common blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and in the future. These SDGs are also called “Agenda 2030”. We are the 'SDG SCOUTS' of the Department of Governance and Public Policy, National University of Modern Languages Islamabad, working on the SDGs under the guidance of Assistant Professor Dr. Athar Rashid. We are a group of seven of his students (Usama Majeed, Usama Hakim, Nouman Khan, Luqman Haider, Umer Farooq, Soban Alam, Iftikhar Ahmad) and our main focus is on his SDGs 6 to 10 and clean cooking fuels and plastic waste management . Our goal is to inform, educate and train people about these SDGs and clean cooking fuels and plastic waste management their importance for our daily lives and for future generations. We believe it is everyone's responsibility to do their part to help achieve these sustainability goals in order to save this world webinar on "Plastic Waste Management & Clean Cooking Fuels" was successfully conducted on December 29 by the 2022 NUML SDG Scouts BS 4 afternoon Group 2 (SDGs 6-10). Both of our guest speakers, Mr. Parvez Ali and Ms. Maryam Akhter, are climate activists. Parvez represented Pakistan at the COP 27 conference last year in Egypt, and Maryam has participated and represented Pakistan on numerous national and international platforms. They presented their topics expertly, and we also had a discussion about some global climate change-related issues. In addition, the presenters offered a few chances for the audience to seize and work together to ensure their careers in the industry. The overall response of the webinar was very nice, there were around 50 to 60 people who took part in the webinar as an audience. The speakers specially thanked DR ATHAR RASHID for engaging young minds in the field of climate change and SDGs. We assist students in developing a deeper understanding of the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda as a NUML SDG'S Scout. The NUML SDG'S Scouts have been instrumental in raising awareness, teaching students, and influencing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals through presentations, awareness walks, and other events.
