How our youth are shaping the future ๐งโ๐
It was great to be back in the classroom with students at NYU Abu Dhabiโs flagship location in New York. HE Balalaa joined university students for a thoughtful dialogue on the future of water, energy, and sustainability, alongside Dr. Lamya Fawwaz, the Chief Brand and Strategic Initiatives Officer at Masdar, and moderator Dr. Carolyn Kissane, Associate Dean at NYUโs Center for Global Studies. The conversation gave students an opportunity to share their insights on strengthening the resilience of our cities and communities, and how youth can play a larger role in decision-making.
Bringing together NYU Abu Dhabi, Masdarโs Youth4Sustainability and the UAEโs 2026 UN Water Conference, the conversation provided a space for fresh perspectives on the challenges and opportunities that will shape our shared future.
Thank you to NYU Abu Dhabi and Masdarโs Youth4Sustainability for the opportunity, and a special thank you to the inspiring students who contributed their ideas. We hope students from across the world will continue to help us shape the future of water as we look ahead to December and beyond.
