SDG 13
As 2018 was the warmest year yet and the next few years are expected to be even hotter, the need to effectively address global warming is more than evident. The Sustainable Development Goal 13 calls for urgent climate action. To this direction, the ratification and implementation of international legal instruments such as the Paris Agreement is of utmost importance. Having studied energy law, I believe that the use of alternative energy resources as well as the application of energy efficiency methods are the most profitable ways to ensure the interests of the energy users, while at the same time protecting the climate!

RhodesMRC Memory
I have some great memories from the former editions of RhodesMRC. However, my favorite one remains the closing ceremony of my first MRC, back in 2016. I was the Head Delegate of my faculty’s delegation. During our preparation, we had some serious trouble with the other members of the delegation as they thought I was too strict(?). However, throughout the conference we were bonding as a team and when I received my best delegate award in the closing ceremony, they were all clapping and hugging me! Some of them are my closest friends to this day!
