Dubai’s Eco-Minded Pupils:

A group of enterprising students from Gems Our Own English High School in Dubai has achieved international recognition for their commitment to enhancing air quality. 

Unnimaya Muraledharan in 12th Grade, along with Trisha Banerjee, Elvina Edison, Nischala Doddamani, and Gayathri Vinod, all Grade 11 students, stand among the top five finalists in the Burjeel Holdings-Oxford Saïd Climate Change Challenge. 

Their brainchild, Biogrow, a natural fertilizer, ingeniously harnesses carbon dioxide and ammonia to curtail their presence in the atmosphere, thereby contributing to reducing their environmental impact.

Teacher’s Impactful Climate Message:

Frithi Francis, the director of innovation, IT, and sustainability at Cambridge High School in Abu Dhabi, has secured her place as a finalist in the teacher category of the same competition.
