Our Story
DCAL was founded with a simple belief: that the youth of the UAE have the power to reshape our relationship with the environment. What started as a small group of passionate students has grown into a thriving league of changemakers spanning schools and universities across all seven Emirates.
We organize everything from large-scale climate symposiums to hands-on hackathons, creating spaces where young people can learn, collaborate, and take meaningful action on the environmental challenges that will define their generation.
Our Mission
To empower UAE youth with the knowledge, tools, and community to lead impactful climate initiatives — bridging the gap between awareness and action through education, events, and collaborative projects.
Our Vision
A UAE where every young person is an active participant in building a sustainable future — where climate consciousness is woven into the fabric of every school, community, and organization.
Our Values
The principles that guide everything we do.
Innovation

Inclusivity
Climate action belongs to everyone — we welcome all voices and perspectives.
Action
We don't just talk about change — we build it, one project at a time.
