The College of Law at the University of Warith Al-Anbiyaa (PBUH), in partnership with the College of Media’s Digital Media Department, convened a scientific symposium titled:
"The Mechanism of Lawmaking: General Amnesty, Personal Status, and Cybercrime Laws."
The symposium gathered an esteemed panel of professors specializing in both media and law.
The discussions focused on the legislative processes involved in enacting laws, examining the legal and media dimensions of legislation concerning general amnesty, personal status, and cybercrimes. The event also emphasized the pivotal role of digital media in fostering public awareness of legal matters.
This symposium is part of the university’s ongoing series of scientific initiatives aimed at advancing legal and media literacy among students and the academic community.
The University of Warith Al-Anbiyaa organised a specialised scientific seminar entitled “Oil and Gas Between the Challenges of Global Warming and Sustainability Requirements”, examining the future of the energy sector in light of global climate challenges and the accelerating transition towards more sustainable energy systems.
The seminar was delivered by Dr Amer Al-Wazzan from Dragon Oil, who presented scientific perspectives on carbon emissions reduction strategies and emphasised the role of technological innovation in advancing the oil and gas industry in line with environmental sustainability requirements and the global energy transition.
This event reaffirms the University’s commitment to promoting scientific awareness of energy and environmental issues, and to supporting research and academic dialogue on the transition towards a low-carbon economy. It aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Goal 7: Affordable and Clean Energy—through encouraging innovation in the energy sector—and Goal 13: Climate Action—by strengthening scientific awareness of environmental challenges and measures to mitigate the impacts of climate change.
As part of its commitment to sustainable campus development and environmental responsibility, the University of Warith Al-Anbiyaa continues to enhance energy efficiency across its academic, administrative, and student facilities through the adoption of smart and energy-efficient technologies.
The university has implemented a comprehensive energy-efficiency strategy focused on reducing electricity consumption and supporting sustainable campus management practices. Based on the university’s 2025 operational data, the total annual electricity consumption from non-solar sources is approximately 200,000 kWh/year, serving a campus population of approximately 10,195 students and staff members.
One of the university’s major initiatives includes the widespread deployment of LED lighting systems across campus buildings, classrooms, laboratories, outdoor spaces, and administrative facilities. More than 2,100 LED lighting units are currently in use, replacing conventional lighting systems with low-energy alternatives that provide longer operational lifespans and reduced electricity demand. Motion-sensor lighting systems have also been introduced in selected areas to minimise unnecessary electricity usage and improve energy efficiency.
The university continues to modernize its cooling infrastructure through the gradual replacement of conventional air conditioning systems with inverter-based energy-efficient units. In addition, campus fans are all high-efficiency low-energy models.
As part of its smart campus initiatives, the university has upgraded its IT infrastructure with energy-saving computers, LED monitors, and office equipment equipped with automatic standby and sleep-mode technologies. Energy-efficient technologies are also being integrated into newly constructed campus buildings through the use of thermal-insulated materials, smart electrical controls, natural lighting optimisation, and sustainable infrastructure planning designed to reduce long-term energy consumption.
In addition, the university has installed solar-powered charging stations (“solar trees”) across campus to support renewable energy use and provide sustainable charging solutions for mobile devices and laptops.
These initiatives support SDG 7 through improved energy efficiency and renewable-energy adoption, SDG 11 through sustainable campus infrastructure, SDG 12 through responsible energy consumption practices, and SDG 13 through efforts to reduce environmental impact and support climate-action initiatives.
Through these efforts, the University of Warith Al-Anbiyaa continues to strengthen sustainable energy management and develop a modern, environmentally responsible campus aligned with international sustainability standards.
The University of Warith Al-Anbiyaa continues to strengthen its commitment to sustainable campus development through the installation of solar-powered charging stations, known as “solar trees,” across key areas of the university campus.
These innovative structures provide students with accessible charging points for laptops, mobile phones, and other electronic devices using clean solar energy. Designed to combine functionality with environmentally conscious infrastructure, the solar trees contribute to reducing reliance on conventional electricity sources while encouraging the use of renewable energy technologies in everyday campus life.
The installations also support the university’s wider energy efficiency strategy by promoting low-energy electronic usage and integrating practical renewable energy solutions into student spaces and public areas. In addition to their environmental benefits, the solar trees create comfortable outdoor study and seating areas that enhance the campus environment for students and visitors.
University officials noted that the project reflects the institution’s broader commitment to sustainability, innovation, and smart campus development. These initiatives align with several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), and SDG 13 (Climate Action) through the promotion of renewable energy and environmentally responsible infrastructure.
The University of Warith Al-Anbiyaa continues to explore modern energy solutions that support sustainability and reduce environmental impact. As part of its future sustainability plans, the university is also working toward incorporating technologies capable of generating electricity through human movement and motion-based systems within campus facilities, supporting the development of a greener and more energy-efficient campus community.
The University of Warith Al-Anbiyaa continues to advance its sustainability strategy through a growing transition toward paperless and low-waste campus operations, reinforcing its commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Through the expansion of digital learning platforms, online administrative systems, electronic payments, and paperless communication tools, the university has significantly reduced paper and plastic consumption across campus. According to university estimates, paper use decreased from approximately 100 tons to 87 tons within one year, while plastic consumption declined from 58 tons to 52 tons.
Key initiatives include online assignment submissions through Moodle, digital registration systems, virtual learning platforms, double-sided printing policies, reusable cafeteria products, and campus-wide water dispensers aimed at reducing reliance on single-use plastics.
These initiatives directly support several Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production, by reducing material waste and encouraging sustainable resource use. The university’s digital transformation efforts also contribute to SDG 13: Climate Action through reduced paper production, lower transportation demand, and decreased environmental impact associated with waste generation.
Additionally, the promotion of reusable products and environmentally conscious student practices supports SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities by fostering a cleaner, more sustainable campus environment. Through its continued investment in digital systems and sustainable infrastructure, UoWA aims to create a campus culture built around environmental responsibility, innovation, and long-term sustainability.
