11/29/24, 2:31 PM Company News in Egypt: Alef Education Engages in Critical Dialogue on Empowering Girls Through Climate Action at COP29
ongoing efforts of empowering women and girls through sustainable climate action.
Our research-driven educational model has shown that female students in the UAE
outperform the OECD average in key global competencies related to climate change,
including awareness and self-efficacy. This achievement highlights the strength of
UAE educational programs, particularly in fostering global awareness and
confidence among young girls. By equipping them with these vital skills, we are not
just providing an education—we are shaping the next generation of leaders in
climate resilience and sustainable action.”

During the discussion, Dr Aishah Al Yammahi highlighted a vital issue impacting the
future of our planet: empowering girls to be part of climate solutions. She
also emphasised how this is crucial for building a sustainable and resilient world.
Equipping girls with requisite skills in climate science and sustainable technologies,
encouraging them to take on climate leadership roles, incorporating local and real-
world climate scenarios into K-12 education, supporting policies for enhancing girls’
participation in climate action, and ensuring equitable access to climate project
resources for girls are key pillars to overcome challenges.

Alef Education showcased two pivotal climate action programmes to demonstrate
its commitment: the Alef Metaverse—an immersive tool that educates students on
climate change and sustainability, and the Alef EcoChamps program—a self-paced
environmental literacy course for UAE students aged 10-14, in which 50% of the
participants are girls.

COP29 presents a dynamic platform to advance global climate commitments and
foster international collaboration to address pressing environmental challenges. As a
leading EdTech provider in the region, Alef Education remains steadfast in
promoting positive climate action by contributing to global sustainability forums.
