The Center for Environmental Studies and Water Resources at Hadhramout University participated on Wednesday, October 29, 2025, in the student conference “University Innovation Hackathon”, hosted at Nesto Hotel, as part of the Yemen Youth Climate Action Conference (YYCA2).
The Center’s participation aimed to support student activities and environmental initiatives in the field of climate action, serving as a practical translation of the partnership agreement between the Center and the youth-led initiative “SahSah”.
During the conference, the Center presented two pioneering scientific papers:
