Oman Climate Week أسبوع عُمان للمناخ

📍 Muscat, 15 September 2026 A SESRIC delegation, headed by H.E. Zehra Zümrüt SELÇUK, participated in the Oman Climate Week, hosted by the Environment Authority of Oman on 14–16 September 2026. H.E. Zehra Zümrüt SELÇUK delivered a keynote address at the Women and Climate Summit at Oman Climate Week, on the role of women in the climate and green transition across OIC countries. She noted that around 1.1 billion women live in OIC countries, nearly half the OIC population. The progress in women's empowerment has been significant in most of the OIC countries. She also pointed out that OIC countries hold only 13% of the world's renewable water resources while home to over a quarter of the global population, and that only around half of them have meaningfully increased their share of renewables since 2015. She called for women to be recognised not as a target group, but as decision-makers in implementation. She concluded by reaffirming SESRIC's commitment to translating policy into action through its data, capacity-building and research work across OIC countries. @om_climateweek @ea_oman #omanclimateweek #climateaction #sustainabledevelopment
