Our Mission

One platform for every green actor across the Arab World

The Arab World is home to some of the world's most climate-vulnerable countries and some of its most ambitious youth. Yet the opportunities, networks, and resources they need are scattered across dozens of websites, languages, and institutions.

Green Gate MENA was founded in 2022 to change that. We aggregate fellowships, grants, events, and programs from across the globe — and make them searchable, accessible, and actionable for Arabic-speaking youth and organizations.

Our Values

What drives everything we do

Youth-led, region-rooted

Founded by Arab youth for Arab youth. Every decision is shaped by the people on the ground who live and breathe the green transition across the Arab World.

Pan-Arab in scope

We build connections across all 22 countries of the Arab World, in both Arabic and English.

Ecosystem thinking

We don't just list opportunities — we build the connective tissue between youth, NGOs, institutions, and businesses so the green ecosystem grows together.

Open and accessible

Free to join, free to submit, free to learn. We believe every young person across the Arab World deserves equal access to the green economy, regardless of country or background.

Our Team

Youth from across the region

Our team is fully distributed across the Arab World — because the issues we tackle are regional, and so are the people who understand them best.
