Alef Education, a UAE-based
global leader in education
technology, is participating in
the ongoing COP28 to highlight
the crucial role of innovative
solutions such as the Alef
Metaverse and the EcoChamps
course in promoting climate
education and environmental
sustainability.

The company’s flagship exhibit at
the Greening Education Pavilion,
hosted by the UAE Ministry of
Education at COP28, is the Alef Metaverse. This innovative solution combines world-class gamification
with educational platforms in a carefully moderated and controlled environment. The experience provides
compelling, engaging, and immersive learning experiences that promote greater academic flexibility and
raise awareness of carbon emissions and sustainability principles.

As the UAE Ministry of Education’s strategic partner at the conference, Alef Education uses
comprehensive data analysis and visualization techniques to provide COP28 delegates with valuable
insights into the country’s green learning achievements and the impact of tackling climate change. As
part of its Data Showcase, this initiative is being developed and implemented by the Ministry of Education
with the support of Alef Education technology. The company also unveiled the EcoChamps program at
COP28, which raises awareness of climate change and promotes sustainable practices among UAE
students in line with COP28 sustainability goals.

H.E. Dr. Amna Al Dahak Al Shamsi, Assistant Undersecretary of the Care and Capacity Building
Sector at the Ministry of Education, said: “We at the Ministry of Education are aware of the crucial role
that education plays in raising future generations awareness of 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”.

Geoffrey Alphonso, CEO of Alef Education, said: “We are honoured to be part of COP28 and thank
the UAE Ministry of Education for selecting us as a strategic partner for this global climate conference.
