After posing for a picture with the Heads of State and Government and representatives of the participating countries, Her Royal Highness joined the conference hall.
Strategic Significance and Regional Impact
The opening of this Summit featured speeches by the United Nations Secretary-General (UNSG), the President of the UAE, and King Charles III of the United Kingdom.
The event will witness the participation of approximately 160 Heads of State and Government and State Party representatives, who will address national declarations on how they are countering climate change issues and their countries’ plans for improving their emission reduction commitments, as the world’s temperature rises at an unprecedented rate.

As Morocco accelerates preparations for major international hosting duties—most notably the 2030 FIFA World Cup alongside Spain and Portugal—every sector is aligning toward shared standards of excellence, digital modernization, and inclusive socio-economic impact.
