Cities have become more impermeable and with an increasing habitat fragmentation and ecosystem degradation. Nature has been called back to the city not as an ornament but for its valuable services. Green Infrastructures act as a structuring element of the urban landscape by allowing connectivity between territories and helping to maintain the services provided by ecosystems, bringing several environmental, economic and social benefits. In addition, it promotes adaptation to the effects of climate change and contributes to the transition to a low carbon economy. Nature-based solutions (NBS) are inspired and supported by nature and use, or mimic, natural processes to contribute to the improved management of water. They can promote enhancement of water availability, improvement of water quality and reduction of water-related risks.
This talk will discuss the integration of Nature Based Solution (NBS) in cities towards managing water resources, offset the rising challenges from water security to population growth and climate change.
It will be delivered within the context of the project “Nature-based solutions for a cleaner and safer Macao” implemented by Institute of Science and Environment at USJ and supported by Clean the World Foundation and Las Vegas Sands.

The University of Saint Joseph (USJ) would like to send our heartfelt gratitude to all USJ Hardship Fund donors for offering financial assistance to the USJ students being negatively impacted by COVID-19 pandemic.
In April 2020, four international students received financial support from the Fund and the University has received requests for assistance from a growing number of students who are struggling financially. Thus, your continuous support of the USJ Hardship Fund is greatly contributing to the wellbeing of our students.
USJ students (including both Local and International Students) can download the application form and return the completed form to OSAA via osaa@usj.edu.mo. USJ will evaluate applications on a case-by-case basis, and all information will be kept confidential.
The present Coronavirus Pandemic and its consequent preventive measures are having a dramatic effect on some students’ to sustain themselves financially.
This is especially true of some of our international students. They chose Macao to pursue their Higher Education studies but now find the revenue from their home country compromised and they are not permitted to work locally. Some are unable to pay full tuition, housing and, in more extreme cases, food.
To tackle this serious problem, the University established the USJ Hardship Fund to collect online donations that will support any students in exceptionally difficult situations. It is being managed by our Scholarship and Fellowship Committee with the regular publishing of audited reports. The list of beneficiaries is strictly confidential and all beneficiaries must receive support from USJ’s Counselling Centre.

This 12-hours evidenced-based early intervention program was originally developed by the Australian NGO Mental Health First Aid International, and later validated in more than 24 countries across the world.
The main aim of this intervention is to empower and equip individuals with the knowledge, skills and confidence needed to support a friend, family member, or co-worker experiencing a mental health problem or crisis.
Some of the topics discussed include types, causes, and symptoms of different mental health problems, such as anxiety, depression or suicidal thoughts.
The editions provided in 2016/2017, 2017/2018, and now in the 2019/2020 academic year, have included around 90 participants.
With this activity, USJ aims to contribute to the promotion of good health and well being in the community, in line with United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goal 3.

On the other hand, Vice-chairman of AAUSJ Ms. Ngai Sou (Angela) donated cleaning and disinfection materials to USJ which help for fighting against the coronavirus.
Mr. Addy Chan introduced how to prevent bringing the virus and bacteria home from outside, which includes making an anti-virus carpet using 1:49 diluted household bleach at entrance to disinfect the sole of the shoe, as well as how to discover the potential risk at home, in particular, the proper way of checking the drainage system, such as the U-shaped pipe under the sink at toilet and kitchen, to prevent the virus and bacteria go inside the home effectively. Mr Addy Chan also introduced how to ensure ventilation system is effective at home using a fan, and suggest to use 70-80% alcohol or 1:99 diluted household bleach for household disinfection.
By the end of the sharing session, Mr Addy Chan answered the questions from many alumni and students and let them have more understandings about disease prevention at home.
