Welcome to this short dialogue podcast. Today
0:03
we're highlighting the sixth cycle of the Clean
0:06
Tech Youth Program, organized by the Sustainability
0:09
and Innovation Center of Dubai Electricity and
0:12
Water Authority. Participants say the program
0:16
significantly strengthened both their theoretical
0:19
and practical knowledge of sustainability, as
0:23
well as clean and renewable energy. Just as important...
0:27
They said it introduced them to the latest developments
0:30
and innovative technologies shaping the global
0:33
energy transition. And it wasn't only about technical
0:37
learning. Participants also praised the programme's
0:41
positive and engaging atmosphere, saying it encouraged
0:45
teamwork, collective responsibility and a deeper
0:50
passion for science, engineering, innovation
0:53
and sustainability. They also highlighted the
0:57
wider role of the Sustainability and Innovation
1:00
Center as a national and global platform that
1:04
empowers young people and equips them with future
1:07
-ready skills. That matters because the programme
1:11
connects youth development directly to Dubai's
1:14
long -term clean energy goals, including the
1:18
Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 and the Dubai
1:22
Net Zero Carbon Emission Strategy 2050. Those
1:27
strategies aim to provide 100 % of the Emirates'
1:31
energy production capacity from clean sources
1:34
by the year 2050. In short, the Cleantech Youth
1:38
Programme is doing more than educating students.
1:42
It is helping prepare a generation ready to lead
1:46
the transition to a more innovative and sustainable
1:50
energy future. Thanks for listening. See you
