12/29/23, 4:01 PM Greening Education Hub Puts Green Education at the Forefront of Global Climate Discussions
In line with its belief in the power of partnerships in bringing about sustainable change in

the educational sector, the Ministry of Education signed two Memoranda of

Understanding during 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.
