climate challenges and equipping them with the skills to tackle these issues for a
sustainable future. We have initiated various sustainable programs that integrate
climate education and environmental sustainability into all levels of education to make
this vision a reality. Our collaboration with Alef Education is a testament to our

commitment to creating an education system that prioritizes sustainability and climate
action in line with the national climate agenda. Together, we strive to bring about
tangible, lasting change that benefits students, teachers, and society.”

and thank the UAE Ministry of Education for selecting us as a strategic partner for this
global climate conference. Our participation in COP28 reflects our commitment to
shaping a sustainable future through innovative educational solutions that equip youth

with the knowledge and skills to tackle climate challenges. We believe that every
student should have access to climate education through various innovative learning
solutions and programs. We have developed various platforms and programs to fulfill
this commitment, such as the Alef Metaverse and the Alef EcoChamps program. We will

continue participating in global, regional, and national events to popularize climate
education and introduce innovative solutions to redefine education.”
