In a significant stride toward fostering collective climate action, The Climate Tribe has inaugurated its first-ever sustainable collaboration hub in Abu Dhabi. Established by Her Highness Sheikha Shamma bint Sultan bin Khalifa Al Nahyan in 2023, The Climate Tribe is a UAE-based social enterprise committed to inspiring climate-conscious behaviour through storytelling, creativity, and community engagement. The hub officially opened with an intimate gathering on June 23rd, marked by an event called The Climate Tribe Live!, which celebrated the organisation’s journey and impact while setting an ambitious tone for future activities.
The Climate Tribe Hub goes beyond the conventional notion of a workspace, presenting itself as a dynamic co-creation environment where creativity and climate action intersect. It was developed with deep respect for Emirati heritage and sustainability, involving local artisans, craftsmen, and designers. Contributors such as Alchemy, Alghadeer Emirati Crafts, Date Form by ARDH Collective, and others played pivotal roles in crafting the space using low-impact, locally sourced materials that embody a commitment to environmental responsibility. The venue is not only a co-working space but also serves as an impact production studio and a multi-functional event venue aimed at catalysing community collaboration and innovative solutions to environmental challenges.
At the launch, Her Highness Sheikha Shamma bint Sultan bin Khalifa Al Nahyan shared her vision of The Climate Tribe as a platform that began with storytelling and has evolved into an active movement aligned with the UAE’s focus on community, especially as 2025 is designated the Year of Community in the country. She emphasised how the hub signifies a new chapter for deeper engagement and transformative impact. “Building on the impact we have created through dynamic storytelling, community engagement, and bold partnerships over the last two years, the opening of our Hub paves the way for deeper conversations and tangible solutions in our collective mission towards climate action,” she stated.
The hub’s design was also spotlighted in a mini-documentary during the inaugural event, highlighting the collaborative process that engaged The Climate Tribe’s leadership team along with sustainability experts, reflecting the organisation’s ethos of culture, creativity, and purpose working hand in hand. Executive Director Hind Al Ghseen underlined how the hub’s design embodies The Climate Tribe’s values, showcasing a blend of community craftsmanship and thoughtful low-impact practices to create a space that is as meaningful as it is functional.
Since its inception in 2023, The Climate Tribe has built a growing community of more than 2,200 members, facilitating over 70 hands-on environmental initiatives. These efforts have included the planting of 921 trees and the recycling of more than 8,600 kilograms of waste, demonstrating tangible environmental contributions grounded in community participation.
The establishment of The Climate Tribe Hub marks the physical manifestation of The Climate Tribe’s digital and social enterprise roots, aiming to serve as a hub for storytellers, changemakers, creatives, and community members dedicated to climate action. Designed to empower action through storytelling, education, engagement, and innovation, the hub encapsulates the UAE’s broader goal of nurturing a sustainable future by fostering collaboration amongst corporates, NGOs, startups, and individuals alike.
This initiative follows Her Highness Sheikha Shamma’s broader vision articulated in September 2023, when The Climate Tribe was launched as a global platform spotlighting the journeys and accomplishments of climate innovators worldwide. The enterprise supports 14 key thematic areas through an integrated multimedia platform, while convening large-scale events and workshops to nurture conscious living habits within the UAE and beyond. The launch of the physical hub in Abu Dhabi now offers a unique and dedicated physical space that complements this wide-reaching digital and community engagement strategy.
As The Climate Tribe positions itself at the forefront of climate advocacy within the UAE, the new hub represents a critical leap—transforming a shared sense of urgency and creativity into concrete actions and partnerships. It stands as an emblem of how heritage, innovation, and sustainability can be intertwined to inspire meaningful climate solutions in a rapidly evolving world.
