Rumaitha Al Busaidi
Climate Change Activist, Women's Rights Activist, Radio Presenter, Marine Scientist, Entrepreneur and Footballer
An award-winning Harvard-educated professional with a multidisciplinary background in policy, investments & consulting. Busaidi has a proven track record as an impact strategist securing public and private sector partnerships for key sustainability and green growth projects in the region; managing multi-million dollar budgets; executing food security initiatives and publishing better management practices to enhance sustainable development of the food production sector.
Busaidi's 2021 TED talk examining women as the key to our climate future has garnered more than a million views. Busaidi is group manager for business development and sustainability for Fisheries Development Oman, the country’s fisheries investment arm. A board director of the only environmental NGO in the country, Environment Society of Oman, she has previously worked with the Omani government on sustainable diversification strategies in food production, and she has advised the current US administration on developing a climate-resilience standard for US foreign aid focusing on empowering women as a form of climate mitigation.
Hailing from Muscat, Busaidi was recently named a member of the first-ever Arab Youth Council on Climate Change. She is also a co-chair of the World Economic Forum’s Davos Lab Taskforce, where she co-authored the youth recovery plan featuring policy recommendations from over 2 million young people across the globe. Busaidi holds multiple Masters degrees and is coined as the first female soccer analyst in the Arab World and youngest Omani to step foot on the South Pole.
