Commitment to education for sustainable development goals by providing meaningful education
Qassim University demonstrates a strong commitment to education geared towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through several strategic initiatives. This includes integrating the SDGs into curricula and research activities, ensuring sustainability is a cornerstone of its educational programs. The university is actively pursuing the implementation of the “Greening Curricula” project, aiming to embed SDG concepts across various disciplines, thus enabling relevant and effective learning outcomes. To measure this impact, Qassim University has developed a sustainability knowledge and culture assessment tool to gauge students' understanding and attitudes. Through these efforts, the university empowers its graduates with the knowledge, values, and skills necessary to become responsible citizens and contribute to advancing the global sustainability agenda. This integrated approach aligns with its mission to promote scientific research, contribute to sustainable national development, and the Saudi Vision 2030.

The project seeks to integrate sustainability concepts into curricula across at least eight broad knowledge areas in all colleges, ensuring that education is relevant and applicable to all students.
