Ajman University with Greening Education Partnership on the Joint Advocacy Document at COP28

In a remarkable initiative aimed at fostering global climate action, Ajman University, through its active involvement in the Greening Education Partnership (GEP), has contributed to vital discussions at COP28 in Dubai. The Greening Education Partnership, known for its mission to integrate sustainability into educational frameworks, invited Ajman University to provide consultation on a joint advocacy document presented at the global conference. This opportunity reflects the University's growing influence in sustainability and education.

Ajman University’s Sustainability Manager, Ms. Maya Haddad, along with a group of dedicated students, attended the Annual Meeting of the Greening Education Partnership at COP28. Their participation emphasized the University’s commitment to addressing climate change through education. The GEP was especially grateful for Ajman University's valuable insights in refining the joint advocacy document, which outlines transformative strategies to integrate sustainability into educational systems worldwide.

One of the central elements discussed at COP28 was the Greening Education Partnership Baseline Review, a comprehensive evaluation of climate-focused educational initiatives. The review was shaped by input from member organizations, including Ajman University, and is poised to serve as a guiding document for future climate education policies. This baseline review not only highlighted the importance of educational reform to mitigate climate impacts but also emphasized its integration into formal, non-formal, and lifelong learning, a key priority for future sustainability.

Ajman University’s involvement in reviewing the document underscores its commitment to playing a pivotal role in global sustainability initiatives. This collaboration with GEP marks a significant step in positioning education as a tool for combating climate change and aligns with the UAE's broader sustainability vision showcased during COP28. Through such efforts, Ajman University continues to contribute to the UAE's leadership in climate resilience and sustainable development.
