AAU students are climate ambassadors as part of Cop28
- Posted on:Oct 28, 2023
A Group of students from Al Ain University participated in the training session for the Climate Ambassadors program (under the umbrella of the COP28 conference), which took place in Dubai Expo City. This provided them with a valuable opportunity to closely follow the discussions and negotiations among the participating countries in the Conference of the Parties (COP). It also allowed them to collaborate with ambassadors from various universities in the UAE and contribute as leaders in the field of climate change.
Prior to attending the program, students underwent training workshops at the university to prepare them for the discussions. These workshops resulted in fruitful outcomes, including the development of actionable plans on a variety of environmental and climate-related topics. The students engaged in negotiations on key points, conducted diverse dialogues, and formulated a final decision at the end of the session.
It is worth mentioning that the training session for the Climate Ambassadors program significantly enhanced the students' awareness of the imminent impacts of climate change. It also helped them develop leadership, research, public speaking, and problem-solving skills.
