Press Release

Geoffrey Alphonso, CEO of Alef Education, said: “We are honored to be part of COP28 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.”

Alef Education celebrated the success of two initiatives—the EcoChamps program and the

Metaverse experience—by hosting the EcoChamps Awards during COP28. The ceremony
recognized and celebrated outstanding achievements. Thirty students were honored as top
performers, and 12 out of 309 participating schools were recognized.

The EcoChamps program received an overwhelming response from students and schools in
the UAE, with more than 58,000 students signing up for the program within eight weeks. The
program was developed with the Ministry of Education, Partnership for Education at
Cambridge University Press & Assessment, and the Carbon Literacy Project. The Alef

Metaverse experience also saw high participation. More than 36,000 UAE students
participated in a comprehensive educational experience. The Metaverse experience is an
innovative educational initiative that gives students a deeper understanding of climate
change and environmental sustainability.

The participation of Alef Education in COP28 underscores the company’s commitment to
raising awareness of climate change and promoting sustainable practices among youth
through its innovative solutions that provide personalized learning experiences and data-
driven insights.
