It took place on Tuesday, April 14, 2026.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 18px;\">The lecture was delivered by Professor Dr. Medhat Altaf Abbas, Professor of Mental Health at the Faculty of Education, Aswan University, and Executive Director of the Unit. He emphasized that energy conservation is not merely a cost-saving practice, but a multidimensional responsibility encompassing environmental, economic, and social aspects that reinforce national identity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 18px;\">He explained that conserving energy contributes to preserving natural resources\u2014particularly non-renewable ones such as fossil fuels for future generations. It also helps reduce harmful carbon emissions and greenhouse gases, thereby mitigating climate change. In addition, it eases pressure on the national electricity grid and enables the redirection of financial resources toward key sectors such as infrastructure, healthcare, and education.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 18px;\">Prof. Abbas further highlighted that energy conservation plays a vital role in fostering a sense of belonging and reflects the level of societal awareness. It represents a practical expression of patriotism through active participation in addressing national challenges, ultimately improving quality of life both now and in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 18px;\">He also noted that promoting rational energy consumption enhances public awareness, supports sustainability efforts, encourages positive behavioral change, and contributes to reducing electricity demand\u2014particularly during peak hours\u2014thereby ensuring the stability and continuity of services.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Under the auspices of Prof. Dr. Loay Saad El-Din Nasrat, Acting President of Aswan University, and Prof. Dr. Ashraf Emam, Vice- President for Community Service &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":12695,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[],"news-category":[6],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 -
