What is the SMC Student Sustainability Award?

The SMC Student Sustainability Award is an initiative by the Singapore Mentorship Committee. It aims to acknowledge outstanding achievements by students who actively work towards supporting Goal 11 - Sustainable Cities and Communities and Goal 12 - Responsible Consumption and Production of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

Goal 11 focuses on creating sustainable cities and communities, with an emphasis on affordable housing, sustainable transportation, access to green spaces, and improved urban planning and management. The SMC Student Sustainability Award promotes and recognizes student-led efforts that contribute to achieving this goal through projects, research, and advocacy.

Goal 12 centers around responsible consumption and production, encouraging sustainable practices and efficient resource management. The award celebrates students who actively address this goal by developing innovative solutions, implementing sustainable practices, and raising awareness about the importance of reducing waste and promoting circular economy principles.
