Objective:
With the increasing changes of global warming, since its inception
in 2023, the AIUB Environment Club (AEC) works towards protecting and
preserving the environment for future generations, creating a world where
humans live in harmony with nature. AEC aims to spread awareness about
climate change to all the students, offering students the opportunity to
serve their community and expand their skills in the process.
Activities:
The club engages in initiatives through a nationwide network of various
institutions working towards preserving and protecting the environment.
Ranging from rallies to seminars and tree plantation campaigns, AEC focuses
on educating the general student community, along with the general society,
on crucial environmental issues, their impact on our lives, and how to
resolve them in the long run. The club focuses on promoting awareness about
environmental degradation including plastic production, excessive use of
plastic made items, water and air pollution, deforestation, recycling and
erosion in all the regions of Bangladesh.
Membership:
Membership of AEC is open to students from all 4 Faculties of the
university, who are interested in working for the protection and
preservation of the environment. Recruitments are conducted during the
semesters, through which applicants are evaluated, interviewed, and
selected to join the club. Currently, there are 100 proactive members
working at AEC.
Leadership:
AEC operates under the supervision of the Office of Student Affairs (OSA), following the general structure for the Executive Committee (EC). OSA provides overall guidance and constant support to the EC for implementing the various events of the club.
Future Outlook:
AEC will continue addressing the challenges of climate change and spreading awareness, along with taking initiatives to collaborate with various organizations in order to reduce pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from the industries and traffic congestion, protect endangered species of plants, wildlife, and habitats, and of course, promote sustainable development of the environment around us for the years to come.
