Congratulations to Her Highness Sheikha Shamma bint Sultan bin Khalifa Al Nahyan, a truly determined young woman, for her visionary commitment to the vital advocacy and action of The Climate Tribe.

I spent a truly engaging evening with Her Highness Sheikha Shamma bint Sultan bin Khalifa Al Nahyan at the launch of The Climate Tribe, which she has founded as a UAE-based social enterprise dedicated to inspiring climate action through dynamic storytelling, immersive community engagement, and radical collaboration, at Goals House in New York City, on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly and Climate Week NYC 2023.

Bridging the local and the global, we were joined by industry leaders, entrepreneurs, creatives and climate advocates at the dinner co-hosted by DP World, Global Impact Partner for the initiative. Her Highness shared how The Climate Tribe aims to highlight the journeys and achievements of changemakers, innovators and philanthropists from around the world to galvanise communities in the UAE, while shining a light on the inherent sustainable practices, ecological heritage and natural wonders of the Middle East.

Especially ahead of COP28, which is set to take place from 30 November until 12 December 2023, at the Expo City, Dubai, I look forward to witnessing the impact which will stem from The Climate Tribe as we tackle the borderless challenge of climate change and equitable health.
