UWED Students Launch “Clean City – Bright Future” Environmental Initiative in Tashkent

As part of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) Week, an environmental plogging event titled “Clean City – Bright Future” was organized in the Feruza-1 residential area of Tashkent’s Mirzo Ulugbek District.

The initiative supported United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 11 — Sustainable Cities and Communities — and Goal 13 — Climate Action. Approximately 20 students from the University of World Economy and Diplomacy (UWED) and other higher education institutions participated in the event, combining walking and jogging with litter collection. Through their collective efforts, participants removed an estimated 20–30 kilograms of waste from the area. The organizers provided essential supplies, including protective gloves and waste collection bags, while refreshments were offered to participants at the conclusion of the activity.

 The initiative aimed to foster environmental awareness among young people, encourage responsible attitudes toward public spaces, and promote active student engagement in environmental protection and sustainable development.
