MUSCAT: Under the auspices of Oman’s Environment Authority, Oman Climate Week is set to take place from February 21-28, 2025, at the Oman Convention & Exhibition Centre, Muscat. This weeklong event will feature conferences, panel discussions, masterclass workshops, Tech & Science Talks, a 3-day exhibition, and side events such as the Future Climate Leaders Awards, Women & Climate discussions, a gala dinner, field trips, and community activities.
Organized in collaboration with the Oman Environment Authority, UNEP, the Ministry of Heritage and Tourism, the Ministry of Higher Education, Research & Innovation, Sultan Qaboos University (SQU), and other global partners, Oman Climate Week aims to unite international leaders to accelerate climate action.

It invites original research papers, review articles, and case studies focused on critical areas such as climate mitigation, renewable energy, CCUS, climate finance and policy, sustainable agriculture, water and land management, and biodiversity.
All submissions will undergo a rigorous peer-review process to ensure the highest academic standards. The Scientific Committee, chaired by Dr Malik al Wardy, Director of CESAR at Sultan Qaboos University, will review the research. The committee is composed of experts from leading institutions such as Sultan Qaboos University, Colorado School of Mines, Manhattan University, University of Southampton, United Nations University, and Qatar University.
Dr Al Wardy emphasized the importance of this initiative, stating, "The Scientific Conference is a cornerstone of Oman Climate Week, providing a platform for researchers to contribute innovative climate solutions that will drive tangible change.’’
Researchers are encouraged to submit original papers, review articles, and case studies by October 31. Successful submissions will be presented at the conference and published in the Journal of the Oman Climate Week Proceedings, which will be distributed globally to academic institutions, research organizations, policymakers, and industry leaders.
