Environmental charity, Emirates Nature –WWF, has launched a free summer training series called ‘Nature’s Resilience’ to upskill the community on nature and environment. Organised as part of the Leaders of Change programme, the series equips nature-lovers and change-makers with knowledge about environmental issues and conservation solutions that contribute towards a sustainable future.
Through 10 different engaging sessions, the program offers an exploration of the life in the UAE, all online! From the expansive desert sands to freshwater habitats, participants will get to know about the local nature and learn about the intricacies between biodiversity, climate change and our own well-being, all whilst sitting at the comfort of their home.
Nature’s Resilience highlights the urgency to design holistic conservation and climate strategies that address extinction and endangering of species and habitat, and climate change. The series plays a vital role in the aims of the ‘Year of Sustainability’ and encourage the community to play an active role in it too. Through an interactive series of masterclasses and expert-led workshops, participants will gain a deep understanding of the importance of biodiversity conservation and sustainable stewardship practices, when mitigating climate change and preserving the UAE’s natural heritage.
In addition, participants will gain a better understanding on how they can support environmental experts and local conservation efforts. Participants who complete a minimum of seven sessions will earn a certificate recognising their commitment to environmental conservation in the UAE.
The programme is tailored for all ages– from working professionals to students and youth. The series is an engaging activity to keep older children involved with nature during the summer months, without having the risk of illnesses associated with the heat.
