Aligning Sustainable Development Goals and UAE's COP28 Priorities in Education: Challenges and Opportunities

In this presentation, I aim to showcase the methodologies adopted within the early years education provider: Blossom Nursery (Babilou UAE) to seamlessly integrate sustainable practices across 12 countries. Emphasizing strategic pillars and ESG metrics tailored for Blossom Nurseries, I'll delve into the essential aspects for educational institutions (operations, facilities, curriculum development, teacher and staff training) in the UAE to address while aligning with ESG disclosures and local COP28 green education agendas. Additionally, I will present case studies illustrating successful sustainability initiatives implemented within the nursery setting.
