Don’t think that itt difficult to change the world. You can do it, just take the risk and do it ! - A brief bio:
Ranaa Kamal is one of the Empower 2030 leaders. She is currently studying biotechnology at Nile University on a full scholarship. Sustainability has always been one of her passions, and she had the opportunity to represent Nile University at the COP27 conference, where she discussed having effective sustainable practices for an improved world. After her higher technical studies, she worked as a junior teaching assistant and research assistant at Nile University. She also had an internship with Science Street Company, where she worked on projects as a science communicator. All of these experiences have helped her gain experience in the field of biotechnology, with a focus on climate change, agriculture, industrial, and medical applications. She is also a member of the African Biogenome project “Open Institute for Genomics and Bioinformatics in North Africa in the Age of Biodiversity Genomics.” In addition to her specialization in biotechnology, Ranaa also has ample knowledge in other fields, having completed internships in marketing, human resources, and entrepreneurship. She is also actively involved in volunteer work, having volunteered with the Youth Ministry, COP27, and Egyptian Sport. She also played the role of an art guide in the Art D’Égypte exhibition in the pyramids. - What ignited your pursuit for SDGs especially the goals you believe in?
I was working on projects related to climate change, sustainability, and the environment at the university. The spark came when I was given the opportunity to represent my university at the COP27 conference. It was then that I realized the importance of everything that is happening around us. I am addressing it based on its impact over time, not just the small part that I thought. And that the Sustainable Development Goals are bigger than being limited to climate change only.
