MNU Thinadhoo Campus conducted a Tree Planting Event on 8 November 2026 in association with the Ministry of Climate Change, Environment and Energy and MNUSU, bringing together the University and community stakeholders in a shared effort to contribute to a greener Thinadhoo.

A total of 100 plants were planted at MNU Thinadhoo Campus, Heyhan Park, Maldives Islamic Bank, and other areas across Thinadhoo, providing students, staff, and community representatives with an opportunity to participate directly in improving green spaces and promoting environmental responsibility.

The event was graced by the Deputy Mayor of Thinadhoo City, members of Thinadhoo City Council, the President and members of the Women’s Development Committee – Thinadhoo City, together with Ismail Razeen, Student Representative at the MNU Council and member of the MNUSU Advisory Board, students, staff, and other participants. Their participation reflected the importance of collective community action in protecting and enhancing the local environment.

Through hands-on participation, the activity encouraged environmental awareness, community engagement, climate responsibility, care for green spaces, and long-term stewardship of the natural environment. Tree planting also provided a meaningful opportunity for students and community members to recognise their role in creating healthier and more sustainable surroundings.

The initiative contributes to SDG 11, particularly Target 11.7, by supporting greener and more inclusive public spaces and encouraging community participation in improving the local environment.

It also contributes to SDG 13, particularly Target 13.3, by strengthening awareness, education, and community participation related to climate action and environmental responsibility.

The activity further supports SDG 15, particularly Targets 15.1 and 15.2, through efforts to increase vegetation, support terrestrial ecosystems, and encourage the protection and sustainable management of green environments.

The partnership between MNU Thinadhoo Campus, the Ministry of Climate Change, Environment and Energy, MNUSU, Thinadhoo City Council, WDC, Maldives Islamic Bank, and community participants also contributes to SDG 17, particularly Target 17.17, by demonstrating how institutional and community partnerships can work together towards shared sustainable development goals.

Through initiatives such as this, MNU Thinadhoo Campus continues to encourage students and the wider community to take practical action towards environmental sustainability while strengthening partnerships for a greener and more resilient Thinadhoo.

MNU Thinadhoo Campus extends its appreciation to the Ministry of Climate Change, Environment and Energy, MNUSU, Thinadhoo City Council, Women’s Development Committee – Thinadhoo City, Maldives Islamic Bank, students, staff, and all participants who contributed to the successful conduct of the event.
