In response to the official directives issued by the Office of the President of the University of Mosul concerning the implementation of activities under the executive plan of the National Strategy for Iraqi Women, the Women’s Affairs Unit at the Environmental Research Center, University of Mosul, prepared and distributed an environmental awareness brochure entitled “Smart Consumption: How to Lower Your Bills and Protect the Environment.”

The initiative aims to enhance environmental awareness among women, families, and the wider community by promoting responsible consumption practices and providing practical guidance on reducing energy and water consumption, minimizing waste, and improving waste management. These practices contribute to lowering household expenses while reducing adverse environmental impacts.

The activity also highlights women’s essential role in promoting sustainable environmental behaviours within families and communities, encouraging the efficient use of natural resources, supporting the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals, and contributing to a more sustainable environment for future generations.

This initiative reflects the Environmental Research Center’s commitment to strengthening environmental awareness, supporting community-based initiatives, and empowering women to contribute actively to sustainable development.
