DOHA, QATAR, October 23, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- As the world marks International Climate Action Day, the Education Above All (EAA) Foundation, through its Reach Out To All (ROTA) programme, reaffirms its commitment to advancing education for climate action, nurturing youth capacity, and ensuring that education remains central to building a sustainable, inclusive, and resilient future for all.

This comes as EAA Foundation successfully concluded the 16th edition of its annual Empower Youth Conference – EMPOWER 2025, held at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Doha from 17–18 October 2025, under the theme “Driving Climate Action through Green Entrepreneurship.”

The conference served as a powerful platform for more than 300 young people, experts, and innovators from Qatar and across the globe to explore youth-led solutions that promote environmental sustainability, create green jobs, and contribute to a low-carbon future.

Through a series of panel discussions, workshops, and interactive sessions, participants examined how entrepreneurship can drive climate action from local to global levels. Among the highlights was a session titled “Youth-Led Climate Innovation: From Grassroots Action to Green Enterprises,” featuring Hessa Al Noaimi (Arab Youth Climate Movement Qatar), Abdulla Al Suwaidi (Elite Paper Recycling), Hissa Al Thani (Alga-Q), and Rahaf Abu Mayyaleh (IBTKRGO).

Other sessions such as “Empowering Youth for a Green Economy: From Global Policy to Local Action” and “Women Leading the Green Transition: From Policy to Innovation” brought together international experts from UNDP, UNICEF, ILO, QSTP, QRDI Council, and the Learning for Well-Being Foundation, among others.

Hands-on workshops including “Green Entrepreneurship: Turning Climate Ideas into Action” and “Youth Clean Tech Innovation: From Challenge to Solution and Impact” provided participants with practical knowledge to design and implement sustainable enterprises that address pressing environmental challenges.

Mr. Abdullah Al Abdulla, Executive Director of ROTA programme, said: “EMPOWER 2025 underscores that young people are not just the leaders of tomorrow, they are innovators of today. With the right tools, platforms, and partnerships, youth can transform bold climate ideas into tangible, sustainable solutions that drive global change.”

The conference concluded with the adoption of the Empower 2025 Youth Declaration, a unified youth call urging governments, the private sector, and civil society to invest in youth-led climate innovation, integrate green education into national curricula, and support entrepreneurship as a pathway to resilience and sustainability.

Over the past 15 years, the Empower Conference has evolved into one of the region’s foremost youth leadership platforms, equipping thousands of young changemakers with the knowledge, skills, and vision to lead meaningful environmental and social transformation.
