This initiative aims to support and realize the visions outlined by the UAE government to achieve the objectives of the Year of Sustainability 2024 "Plan to Action."

He emphasized the intersection of digitization and sustainability, referencing the historical trajectory of UAE's governmental action and the role of youth in driving progress.
Eng.

He also highlighted initiatives such as the recently launched TDRA Virtual Camp, focusing on sustainability, game development, programming, and ChatGPT.
The forum also included a youth-led debate on the visible initiatives of the Federal Youth Authority, aiming to refine the skills of younger individuals and provide them with a platform to discuss key government trends in the UAE, particularly the ZGB program for government service development.
