SAP and ChangeMaker Xchange Highlight Importance of Youth-Led Climate Change in Run-Up to COP28

  • More than 35 young ChangeMakers from the Middle East are participating in the world’s most critical climate negotiations  

Manos Raptopoulos, President of Southern Europe Middle East and Africa at SAP, says that the selection of the UAE as this year’s host is testament to the Emirates’ commitment to fostering dialogue, sharing expertise, and driving global climate action. Raptopolous points to the importance of the dialogue being inclusive, emphasising the impact of climate change on youth.
