COP28, marked by its inclusive and diverse participation, provided a unique forum where voices from various cultural backgrounds worldwide harmonized in a collective effort to address climate challenges. Inspired by insightful speeches and discussions, and rich experiences visiting various pavilions such as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) pavilion, we are now more resolute than ever in developing green skills and promoting dual carbon education. Our overarching goal is to instill environmental literacy in young minds, contributing wisdom and strength to foster a sustainable and green future.

We aim not only to educate but also to support them into future leaders and catalysts for transformative change,” he highlighted at COP28.
