UNICEF Gulf’s Post

As climate challenges intensify, education stands out as one of the most powerful tools to protect our planet and our future. During the #SocialSummit2025 side event “Learning for Climate Resilience: Integrated Pathways for Poverty Eradication, Jobs & Inclusion,” UNICEF Gulf Area Director Lana Khalil Al-Wreikat joined partners from Education Above All, UNDP, and youth leaders to spotlight how inclusive education can unlock opportunity, create green jobs, and build more resilient communities. The lesson from the Gulf is powerful: when national visions combine education, empowerment, and participation, children and youth become co-authors of climate resilience, not just its beneficiaries. 🇶🇦 Qatar – AI for Child Well-being and youth-led climate innovation 🇸🇦 Saudi Arabia – Embedding digital learning, innovation & green skills across the education system 🇦🇪 UAE – Providing climate education to all school children 🇰🇼 Kuwait – Prioritizing inclusive, shock-responsive systems for children & families 🇧🇭 Bahrain – Empowering young people through STEM education Across the GCC, the green transition is proving to be not only technological — but generational. UNICEF is proud to work with partners across the region to equip children and young people with the digital, green, and entrepreneurial skills they need to shape a sustainable future.
