In July of 2006, the entirely youth-run organization of AIESEC opened itsdoors in Jordan, recruiting 80 members from universities across thecountry. These universities were initially the University of Jordan, andYarmouk University. Right now, AIESEC is present in Amman at theUniversity of Jordan, Princess Sumaya University of Technology, GermanJordan University, and Petra University. AIESEC is present in Irbid inYarmouk University, and soon Jordan University for Science andTechnology.

In addition to hosting two large-scale national conferences per year,AIESEC in Jordan has established its own Supervisory Group, whichcontains prominent Jordanian business and community leaders.

AIESEC Amman and Environmental Sustainability

Sustainability is about meeting the needs of todays generation without denying tomorrows

generation the ability to meet theirsin the economic, social and environmental spheres.

Environmental sustainability is part of global economic and social well-being. Unfortunately

exploitation of natural resources such as forests, land, water, and fisheries-often by the powerful

few-have caused alarming changes in our natural world in recent decades, often harming the most

vulnerable people in the world who depend on natural resources for their livelihood.

Forward

Since AIESEC Jordan was launched it has been working on raising awareness among its members

about emerging concepts in the business environment such as Corporate Responsibility, which was

the starting point that paved the path towards Environmental Sustainability.

The I Green Project started in August 2009. Over several debates and researches, we agreed that

AIESEC in Jordan should start considering environmental sustainability; take steps in spreading

awareness among university students and work on being a role model for young people in leading the

change.

Starting the project, wasnt the easiest, we were faced by many obstacles in converting our concepts

into actions; this is when Green Step workshop took place, for AIESEC members and AIESEC

international interns; we were able to define whats happening around the world and what are the

environmental issues in Jordan that will be the bottle neck for Jordan in the next few years.

From there, a vision was born. We were able to start our first step to drive youth to be global minded

citizens. From that moment I Green started growing in our hearts and in its achievements.

I was extremely proud to see how the ideas our members came up with turned into reality; reusing

over 8000 papers, planting 100 trees and building partnerships to drive Environmental Sustainability

in Universities in the beginning of the next student's year. Also, it has touched me immensely to see

my members emphasize the importance of environmental awareness to their friends and families.

SAVE: there is no planet B was a huge success for the project. We were able to show our partners

the enthusiasm, the energy, the ideas and the determination that I Green project has, and this was

a turning point for the project to drive success.

Throughout this report we are presenting the main flow of the past educational forum; SAVE: there is

no planet B; the sessions and their objectives, the main discussions that occurred at the event, the

delegates input and their feedback about the event.

At the end, I would like to thank our partners for their generous support, the delegates for attending,

and mostly, I Green project members for their hard work, dedication, and creativity.

Panel Discussion Moderated by: Professor Muna Al BannaPlease note that these are only small headlines from the panel discussion.

Mr. Odeh Jayyousi: Defining environment and

environmental sustainability: Environment is our natural

system and a big circle which we all live in.

Environmental sustainability: A way of life, how to

interact harmlessly with our surroundings.

Environmental sustainability: proceeding to link

environmental sustainability to our own reality and

culture, holding on to our own values.

Pollution starts from your mindset.

Sustainability principles: Respecting laws and nature.

Mr. Raouf Al Dabbas: Are we environmentally

sustainable in Jordan?

We are not, but there are a lot of factors that come in

play here and we should not exploit our resources.

What we can do to preserve our resources:

Act now, as we dont have the leisure of time.

We have to value our environment.

Role of youth in environmental sustainability:

Coming up with solutions and mechanisms to save

energy and water and to use our natural resources

(Changing mindsets.)

Initiatives :

o Forest cleaning during the summer.

o School year: using interactive tools to engage

students.

o Planting trees during the winter.

It is important to be consistent in your activities and initiatives.


20/30


AIESEC Jordan ( )

We should set rules for people to be more accountable in terms of the environment.

Mr. Raof: Jordan is starting initiatives; Example:

Environmental police (Rangers), and certain regulations andrules.

We are paying substantial taxes to the government

why not use them to help in recycling and short

initiatives?

Such things need to start from the people being more aware.

Why not start from the governmental institutions to

implement the rules and regulations, example:

carpooling to jobs, reducing carbon dioxide emission,

using filters on car exhausts.

Mr. Naser Al Majali representing EDAMA said: Canwe afford being environmentally sustainable?

We actually cant afford not to. We should use the

natural resources we have: sun, wind, etc.

How can we manage organizing activities between

governmental people and NGOs?

We should bring our efforts together, spread

awareness, and make sure that students are very

aware of the issues and each persons impact.

Mr. Anselm Ibing, representing Entity Green Training said:

We need to be more radical in our steps and solutions, and

increasing awareness by joining NGOs, helping and making an

impact.

Ms.Galyna Pryklonska, representing ALSHAJARA NGO said:

Try to make your country greener, it decreases carbon dioxide

amounts. We have 14% potential land that we can plant in Jordan.

Workshops

The audience was divided into two workshops; the purpose of which was to establish a closer

interaction between externals and students, from a variety of universities, in constructive discussions

and brainstorming related to issues of water shortage and the three Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle); two

of the most pressing issues in Jordan.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle SessionFacilitated by: Mr. Anselm Ibing - Recycling Program Coordinator

Man and Nature:

What happened in the last 150 years:

There was a connection between man and earth and it

is lost now;

Work: switching from farms to offices.

Home: switching from countryside to city.

Food: switching from home grown to supermarkets.

The impact of less recycling:

o

Climatic Change.o Global Resources depletion

and pollution.

o Decreasing Biodiversity.

Collection points in Jordan: Cozmo. Cooperate to make new collection

points and more recycling.


23/30


AIESEC Jordan ( )

We need to design things that we can reuse again (Sustainable Design)

The ways of reducing

consumption of resources;

including conserving energy,

reducing water consumption,

and reducing waste. Reduce is

probably the most important of

the Three Rs to focus on initially.

Watch a video :

storyofstuff.org

Reusing papers, bottles, bags,

cars Re-pair, re-purpose, re-

invent

Ex: - Reuse seeds from fruit

and vegetables and try to

grow them!

- Reuse your old food

scraps by composting them.

-Reuse old clothing by

donating it to a local charity.

Recycling is the last step.

The materials economy:

Extraction production

distribution consumption;

results in resources use and

pollution.

Recycling omits the extraction and

consumption steps.

The problem with recycling is that it

doesnt fit to everything (example:

cartoons of milk are made of three

layers which cannot be separated

easily when they are all together).

How can we make a difference? (What can we do?)

o Eat less meat.

o Fly less.

o Drive green.

o Recycle.

What has the biggest impact is to get involved: when you make a change, you encourage others

to make a change, too.

Water and Energy sessionFacilitated by: Ms. Hala Zawati, EDAMA

Water Situation

Water Resources

Over 70% of wasted water goes to lack of repairing and fixing

in the infrastructures.

Jordan is one of the poorest countries in water.

18% of the people in the world do not have access to freshwater and this number will rise by 40% by 2025.

The MENA region is considered one of the driest regions in

the world.

100 cubic meters is the water availability per capita in the

MENA region.

By the year 2025, the water availability in MENA will

decrease thus it will become dry.

When it comes to water 100 cubic meters is considered the

poverty line.

Jordan is below the water poverty line.

Saudi Arabia and Libya are also poor in water, but the

difference between those countries and Jordan is in the

money flow (funding for water projects).

In Syria the availability of water is 2,845 cubic meters per

capita. 20 times more than that of Jordans.

-Surface Water (Rain, Rivers

and valleys, etc.).

-Groundwater (renewable

and non-renewable). Ex:

The Dissi.

-Treated Wastewater.

-Desalinized Water

(Brackish and sea water).


25/30


AIESEC Jordan ( )

Question: How do we get billed for our water?

We get billed for the fresh water and the waste water accumulatively.

Water Solutions

Libya had built a huge man made river to

carry water throughout the country to

solve its water issue. The source of water

was from an underground water body.

A similar water project has started to be

executed in Jordan, sourcing from the

Dissis water.

96% of the population in Jordan has access

to water.

Future water demands in Jordan will

increase, thus the shortage of water will

grow to reach 660million cubic meters.

-Raising awareness inside homes.

-Rain water recycling system for agriculture and each building must have a rain water reservoir.

-Being more conscious about our usage of water.

-Always using the dishwasher full.

-Reusing water for irrigation of plants in our gardens, ex: the water used to wash fruits and

vegetable.

-Stop the plantation of fruits and vegetables that needs lots of water.

-Banning evaporation pans in the Dead Sea.

-Attaching water regulators to our showers and taps.

-Enforcing proper rules.

Study Cases from the MENA RegionFacilitated by: Mr. JohnJoseph Ryan and Ms. Erica Welch, Sustainability Excellence Arabia

Climate change and its impact:

-Middle East holds 1% of the worlds fresh water.

-Building construction & operations consume 50% of the

worlds energy

-By 2012, Energy Consumption will exceed Abu Dhabis energy

supply.

-Ecological footprint per person: UAE is number one in

ecological footprint, consuming five times what the world can

provide.

Global and MENA overview

- As the Earths temperature rises, snow and ice caps are

melting, increasing the global sea-levels.

- One meter sea level rise would affect 11% of the Arab

population.

- Jordan River will dry up significantly.

- 80% of water is used in agriculture.
