As part of its commitment to social responsibility and its leading role in supporting environmental protection and sustainable development, and under the direction of the President of Al-Mustaqbal University, Professor Dr. Hassan Shaker Majdi, Al-Mustaqbal University, represented by the Diwan Affairs Department and the Sustainable Development Division, participated in the national campaign to remove water hyacinth from the Euphrates River. The campaign was held under the patronage of the First Deputy Speaker of the Iraqi Council of Representatives and attended by the Minister of Environment, the Minister of Water Resources, the Governor of Babylon, as well as representatives of several government institutions, civil society organizations, and volunteer teams. Engineer Khalid Kadhim Al-Salihi, Director of the University's Sustainable Development Division, stated that the participation of the university and its Sustainability Ambassadors reflects the institution's vision of transforming academic knowledge into practical initiatives that serve society and protect the environment. He explained that the rapid spread of water hyacinth has become a growing environmental and water-related challenge due to its obstruction of water flow in the Euphrates River and irrigation canals, its negative impact on the efficiency of drinking water treatment plants, and its excessive consumption of water resources, particularly in light of Iraq's increasing water scarcity and the impacts of climate change. He further emphasized that protecting water resources is a shared national responsibility that requires close cooperation among government institutions, universities, civil society organizations, and citizens. He noted that Al-Mustaqbal University places environmental awareness and the promotion of volunteerism among its highest priorities, reflecting its commitment to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and building a society that is more aware of and better prepared to address environmental challenges. The campaign witnessed active participation from the university's students and Sustainability Ambassadors, who contributed to the removal of water hyacinth while also organizing awareness activities aimed at highlighting the importance of preserving rivers and protecting water resources. These efforts reflected the strong sense of responsibility and national belonging among the university's youth. Al-Mustaqbal University continues to implement environmental and community initiatives in line with its vision that a modern university is not only a center for education and scientific research, but also an active partner in achieving sustainable development, a supporter of national initiatives, and a platform for preparing generations capable of protecting both people and the environment while contributing to a more sustainable future.
