The students visited The Technology and Innovation Hub, a dedicated space within the Green Zone, designed to showcase how cutting-edge technologies and innovative thinking can be harnessed to tackle climate change and keep global warming within the crucial 1.5°C limit. Children could attend the demonstrations exploring the role of technology and innovation in various aspects of climate action, from renewable energy and sustainable infrastructure to climate finance and community resilience. Some found it interesting to dive into the world of cutting-edge climate solutions through interactive exhibits showcasing innovative technologies like carbon capture and storage, green hydrogen production, and advanced climate monitoring systems. And also, they could embrace an environment that facilitates collaboration and knowledge sharing to accelerate the development and deployment of climate technologies.
