A mural celebrating a Green Energy Transition, was recently unveiled at the Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST) in collaboration with the European Union (EU)
NUST in a statement said the artwork, showing sustainability in green industrialisation and energy transition, symbolises the enduring and progressive partnership between NUST and the EU, now entering its 22nd year, with a shared vision for a greener, more sustainable future.
Acting Vice-Chancellor at NUST, Miriam Dikuua said the artwork has brought life to the face of NUST’s Main Campus. “Namibia continues to pursue its energy transition goals, and this mural serves as a creative expression of the hopes and ambitions that drive these efforts,” she added.
She said the strides made in the last 20 years have created a great impetus for further enhanced cooperation and the university remains welcoming to fostering an ecosystem where science, technology and innovation thrives.
EU Ambassador to Namibia, Her Excellency Anna-Beatriz Martins said the mural is more than just a piece of art. It stands as a powerful symbol of the collective commitment between Namibia and the EU to a sustainable energy transition, green industrialisation and job creation for the Namibian youth. “Even if only fleetingly, as you pass this mural, we hope it will inspire you to believe that together we can achieve the goals Namibia has set for itself,” she added.
NUST said a work of art with a mission, the mural, titled ‘Shared Values for Green Transition’, was the result of a creative collaboration between local artists and the EU. “It captures three key pillars of Namibia’s green future: skills development, employment creation and a shared vision for a sustainable tomorrow, and is designed to underscore the critical need for skills development and employment creation while reflecting a unified commitment to Namibia’s green future,” they said.
