MENA Climate Change Week 2023 was hosted in collaboration with United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) by the Government of Saudi Arabia in Riyadh from 8-12 October. UNFCCC states that the MENACW 2023 and all the Regional Climate Weeks provide a platform for policymakers, practitioners, businesses and civil society to exchange on climate solutions, barriers to overcome and opportunities realized in different regions. MENACW 2023 raised awareness on climate change issues and fostered youth engagement while showcasing the regions efforts on climate change alongside the unique perspectives and innovative solutions it can offer. We are very proud of our students for representing Alfaisal University at an honorable and impactful event.
