Green Diplomacy Center opened in RUDN
A Center for Green Diplomacy was created based on the RUDN Institute of Environmental Engineering. Among the goals is the integration of the results of scientific and practical activities into the development of international relations in the environmental sphere. The center's specialists will also accompany the corporate sector in solving various environmental problems.
“The agenda of the Center for Green Diplomacy will include issues of developing scientific and expert cooperation on the main tracks of the international environmental dialogue, methodological support for authorities in the implementation of projects and programs with foreign partners. Special attention will be paid to expert support for the implementation of decisions of the Nevsky International Environmental Congress. To this end, the Center's team will participate in the work of a group of experts from CIS+ countries.
The center will also provide a range of different services for the corporate sector. For example, to participate in the development of environmental standards, to conduct expert verification of the company's activities for work abroad, to organize cooperation with environmental institutions, as well as to interact with government authorities at the federal and regional levels (green GR)”, - Elena Savenkova, Director of the RUDN Institute of Environmental Engineering
At the start, the Center will work on the development of international environmental initiatives. For example, to ensure the cooperation of BRICS youth environmental organizations, to promote the "Green Standard of the Caspian Sea", as well as to develop international tracks of the Ecomolodezhka.RF platform.
The Center for Green Diplomacy was headed by Rashid Ismailov, Chairman of the Russian Ecological Society.
The RUDN University Science and Innovation Prize winners were honoured at the extended meeting of the Academic Council. In 2024 the terms of the traditional RUDN University Prize were changed: for the first time the competition was announced in two categories: leading scientists and young scientists.
According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), electricity consumption in Africa has increased by more than 100% over the past two years (2020-2022). However, 74.9% of this energy is still produced by burning organic fuels — natural gas, coal and oil. At the same time, the level of electrification on the continent remains extremely low — only 24%, while in other developing countries it reaches 40%. Even in grid-connected areas, electricity supply is often unreliable: industrial enterprises lose energy on an average of 56 days a year.
Today, diagnosis and treatment planning with orthodontists takes several days. Also, complications can arise during treatment that slow down the patient's recovery process. For example, improper orthodontic treatment planning can lead to temporomandibular joint dysfunction.
