UAE takes the lead in climate education ahead of COP28

COP28 Presidency and ECSSR sign MoU on climate education

This initiative will go a long way towards implementing holistic climate education and youth participation

With the COP28 getting closer by the day, the UAE is implementing green initiatives daily, with the latest focusing on climate education.

The COP28 Presidency office and Emirates Centre for Strategic Studies and Research (ECSSR) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), detailing ECSSR’s activities and engagements throughout COP28, advancing a holistic approach to climate education.

As part of the Global Climate Education thematic, the 28th Conference of the Parties (COP28) seeks to align global climate education and amplify the work of youth.

This MoU sets the stage for the Centre’s Green and Blue Zone events, exhibitions, panel discussions, and other educational materials designed to raise awareness about climate change, sustainability, and global action.

Special short-casts, video episodes, and an audiobook are among the digital assets ECSSR will create during COP28 to streamline education around climate change.

Dr. Sultan Al Nuaimi, Director-General of ECSSR says, “This partnership clearly demonstrates ECSSR’s commitment to achieving its strategic objectives, which aim to enhance partnerships and exchange expertise in various fields; in particular sustainability and climate action which will help keep pace with the UAE’s ambitious plans and aspirations.”

The ECSSR has conducted in-depth analyses of political, economic, social, cultural, environmental, and health developments at local, regional, and global levels. With a focus on addressing policies and interests, they actively contribute to the sustainable development goals of the UAE and beyond.
