The Maldives National University (MNU) contributes to Sustainable Development Goal 7: Affordable and Clean Energy by promoting energy efficiency, supporting research on clean and renewable energy, and raising awareness of sustainable energy use. As a Small Island Developing State, the Maldives faces challenges related to dependence on imported fossil fuels, high electricity costs, vulnerability to climate change and the need to expand reliable energy access across a dispersed island geography. Through research, community outreach, educational initiatives and sustainable campus practices, MNU promotes responsible energy use, a transition to low-carbon energy sources and long-term energy security.
