Building Partnerships to Deliver Climate Action in Cities

On the occasion of COP 28, I was delighted to join the Reception on Building Partnerships to Deliver Climate Action in Cities, co-hosted by The King’s Foundation and Community Jameel at the Jameel Arts Centre in Dubai.

Gathered with leaders working to build a collaborative response to climate action in cities, in the Commonwealth and beyond, the event resonated with inspiring objectives shared by Kris Murrin, CEO of The King’s Foundation, and George Richards, Director of Community Jameel.

In conversation with Fady Jameel, Vice Chairman of Community Jameel, we shared our commitments in advancing science and learning for communities to thrive, and the importance of reducing poverty by ensuring that policy is informed by scientific evidence, research, outreach, and training.

As we navigate the complex landscape of climate action, especially in cities, the exchange of ideas and the momentum created by such alliances are pivotal. I am invigorated by the dedication exhibited by all present, and I am inspired by the potential for impactful collaborations that transcend borders.
