12/29/23, 4:01 PM Greening Education Hub puts green education at the forefront of global climate discussions
COP28. The first MoU was with the International Fund for Houbara Conservation (IFHC), which was
aimed at developing and implementing initiatives to educate youth and students about environmental
protection. The objective is to emphasise their role in shouldering responsibilities, with a focus on
preserving wildlife and natural habitats, fostering understanding, and promoting sustainable

behavioural change. Additionally, the Ministry has entered into agreements with the Ministry of
Climate Change and Environment as well as with Bayanat. These agreements aim to bolster and
advance sustainable scientific and research initiatives, including the initiation of a grant for

collaborative research programmes throughout 2024.

The Greening Education Hub – Legacy from the Land of Zayed witnessed an impressive turnout
during COP28, with over 50,000 visitors, surpassing expectations by over 270%. Notably, student
and academic engagement with the Hub's activities was exceptional, with more than 3,500 students
from 122 schools across the country visiting over the course of 13 days. The Hub played host to 250

panel discussions and workshops, featuring the participation of over 1,000 speakers from more than
50 countries and the attendance of more than 10,000 guests.
