The UAE Independent Climate Change Accelerators (UICCA) announced the launch of the “Climate Call” interactive new problem-solving platform for participants to submit climate solutions from across the world.
During her keynote speech at the second edition of the Global Media Congress (GMC), Sheikha Shamma bint Sultan bin Khalifa Al Nahyan, President and CEO of UICCA, said the platform launched with three key focus areas, which are food security, water scarcity and renewable energy.
”Climate Call” is open to everyone, stated Sheikha Shamma, explaining that the platform is a comprehensive platform for sharing promising ideas and cooperating to find possible solutions that can achieve tangible progress in the efforts to save
“This beautiful planet which is facing a crisis of exponential proportions.”
In its pilot phase, more than 200 young people and university students have already generated over 70 ideas across the three challenges of the “Climate Call” platform. Once the idea is submitted, other participants can cooperate in reviewing it and adding to it, as well as vote for the best idea in terms of value, impact and capabilities.
Each year, a select group of the most voted ideas will receive tangible support from the “Climate Call” and the UICCA, which includes financing up to AED 25,000 and the opportunity to connect with prominent climate change advocates, mentors and organisations, as well as access to global impact platforms such as “The Climate Tribe”, the digital storytelling platform that integrates multimedia formats to inspire climate action.
The platform also integrated OpenAI GPT 4.0 to support content generation, making it accessible to global users regardless of their English level.
