Her Highness officially opened our new Eco Edventure—a purpose-built space that connects young learners with nature through hands-on, outdoor education.
As President & CEO of the UAE Independent Climate Change Accelerators (UICCA) and founder of The Climate Tribe, Her Highness is a leading voice in sustainability and climate action. Her visit highlighted the vital role schools play in nurturing environmental awareness and responsibility from the earliest years.
The Eco Edventure provides Early Years and Primary students with real-world experiences in growing food, exploring water systems, caring for animals, and understanding ecosystems. These activities support key learning goals while encouraging curiosity, resilience, and a love for nature.
“It is inspiring to witness a school place such value on sustainability and holistic education,” said Her Highness. “Nurturing this awareness from an early age is essential to developing a generation of environmentally conscious leaders.”
Her visit also included a powerful assembly with Secondary students focused on youth climate action, a tour of sustainability projects, and a special storytelling session for Year 1 students exploring themes of nature and community.
Principal Alan Cocker shared:
“We were honoured to welcome Her Highness to our school. Her leadership in climate and sustainability is deeply aligned with our mission to nurture responsible, globally minded students. The Eco Edventure is a vital step in this journey.”
As climate education becomes increasingly essential, BIS Abu Dhabi continues to embed sustainability into every stage of learning — providing students with meaningful opportunities to engage with the world around them and lead the change they wish to see.
