Aramco Asia Korea Ltd. (Aramco Korea) today presented a donation to the Coalition for Our Common Future (COCF) for its Climate Scouts program, which is designed to raise the young generation's awareness on climate change as part of its corporate citizenship initiative.
Through the Climate Scouts program, COCF, a nonprofit organization dedicated to policy research and knowledge sharing, will select 100 university students as youth mentors, and hold a workshop on climate change where environmental experts will present their insights on the issue. Based on the knowledge shared, the students will offer a mentorship program to 300 elementary students in remote areas, in an effort to elevate the children's awareness on climate change.
At the donation ceremony held at the Seoul headquarters of COCF, Fahad A. Al-Sahali, Aramco Korea's representative director, remarked, “Aramco is committed to making meaningful contributions to addressing climate change. We believe that education is an essential element of our response to the issue. We hope this unique mentorship program will help increase “climate change literacy” among young people, encourage changes in their attitudes and behaviors, and help them better understand the impact of climate change.”
Sanghyup Kim, chairman of COCF, said, “We are sure the Climate Scouts program will provide children with valuable opportunities to learn the impact of climate change and the importance of environmental protection. The young generation will also be given chances to think about their own ways of addressing the issue, with tips and ideas from the mentorship program.”
