The Arab Youth Council on Climate Change (AYCCC) and HSBC will now implement a “Sustainability Education” initiative and train higher education students in the Arab world on climate action.
The two parties signed a pact regarding the same.
Additionally, the pact also contains cooperation in building the capacities of students and developing their skills in the sectors of sustainability and innovative climate solutions.
This educational initiative will be carried out in cooperation with the AYCCC’s official knowledge partner, the Posterity Institute.
The two parties would cooperate to implement an interactive curriculum project available to all students of universities, colleges and higher institutes in the Arab world to have direct access.
It is based on the open-source principle, to various educational, awareness and training materials on the causes of climate change, and mechanisms for creating qualitative solutions to confront it.
Also, it would advance sustainability goals set by the United Nations and the Paris Agreement signed in 2015 and the COP26 climate summit in the United Kingdom in 2021.
The partnership was announced at the Youth Pavilion at Expo 2020.
HSBC sponsors the program that provides open-source sustainability skills, ideas and solutions to all university and college students in the MENA region.
