Some people learn about climate change from documentaries. Others learn about it while skiing across frozen deserts at \u201330\u00b0C, camping on ancient ice, and watching the planet quietly change in front of their eyes.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s exactly what Dr. Hussain Khansaheb did!<\/p>\n

He isn\u2019t just a marine engineer or an executive at Dubai Holding Real Estate, he\u2019s an Emirati who\u2019s quite literally stood on the front lines of the climate crisis, and that’s what he discussed on the Lovin Dubai show this week<\/h2>\n

As Dubai Holding\u2019s first-ever National Sustainability Champion, Dr. Khansaheb recently returned from one of the most extreme places on Earth: Antarctica, where he joined the 2041 Foundation\u2019s Ice Station Expedition. And what he saw there has completely reframed how he thinks about the future of our cities, our coastlines, and projects like Palm Jebel Ali.<\/p>\n
