 Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah paid a visit to Belfast's Conway Education Centre on Tuesday October 3rd, where she met with asylum seekers, refugees, members of the local community, and Belfast City Council representatives to learn about the experiences of displaced people in Northern Ireland.

Speaking to a group of asylum seekers, including children, from the Middle East and Africa, Queen Rania emphasized the crucial work done by the city and people of Belfast to support their refugee community, saying that their continued dedication demonstrates their "generosity of spirit."

Her Majesty praised the Conway Education Centre for giving a lifeline to refugees and asylum seekers by providing a venue where people can develop friendships, rediscover their sense of community, and find "a new lease on life."

She also called successful integration of refugees into resettlement countries as "difficult to quantify," because it provides them with a sense of dignity and belonging, which helps them become productive members of their new communities.

Conway Education Centre began offering English language classes, a homework club for primary and secondary school students, and an annual summer school for refugee families in 2015 to support the city's rising refugee community. The programmes, which are run by teachers and trained volunteers, aim to assist refugees in integrating into the community.

Conway has developed a capacity-building programme to help adult migrants build on their existing abilities and increase their independence, based on input from refugees who have taken its courses. The Belfast City Council-supported programme provides recognised English language, ICT, and advocacy training, as well as parenting classes.

Members of the Art Route Collective, a project founded in 2016 to promote creative and cultural activities within Belfast's refugee and asylum-seeking community, attended the conference in addition to participants in Conway's many refugee programmes.

 Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah advised young leaders to make the most of their time in order to advance the cause of peace, describing it as a "lifelong mission" that takes "not only every ounce of our strength, but every ounce of our time."

Queen Rania delivered her words in the United Kingdom on Monday October 2nd, speaking to a crowd of nearly 2,000 youth activists and leaders at the One Young World Summit in Belfast, Northern Ireland. This year's summit marks the 25th anniversary of the signing of the Good Friday Agreement between the British and Irish governments in Belfast.

Her Majesty recalled how the signing of this accord prompted His Majesty the late King Hussein to remain hopeful about attaining peace in the Middle East in 1998. She also emphasised King Hussein's role in the Wye River discussions, which took place the same year he was diagnosed with cancer and began chemotherapy.

She claimed that, despite his failing health, he insisted on travelling to the United States to press for the signing of a memorandum between Palestinians and Israelis aimed at restarting the Oslo II Accord.

"He saw our time on earth for what it is: finite, fragile, and never to be taken for granted," she said. She also quoted the late King, who declared during the signing of the accord, "If I had an ounce of strength, I would have done my utmost to be here, and to help in any way I can."

"Cancer reminded King Hussein once more of how precious time is." And, once again, he opted to live in the now..."He wanted to make every moment count so that future generations could live in peace," she explained.

Her Majesty noted that, despite the finite nature of time, "hope can withstand the test of time," and that individuals can "extend the time we have by using it well."

The Queen also emphasised the gravity of the world's most pressing issues, ranging from political polarisation to mounting refugee crises, climate change, and persistent discrimination and gender inequity.

"At a time when we're talking about advanced technologies like AI, it's absurd that many people still believe that the colour of one's skin determines their worth." And it's unfortunate that gender equality remains a goal rather than a reality," she said.

Noting that the Palestinian-Israeli issue remains a notable example of an ignored emergency in need of peaceful settlement 25 years after the Wye River Memorandum, Her Majesty drew attention to the injustice and cruelty that Palestinians face on a daily basis.

 On September 20th, 2023, Her Majesty Queen Rania of Jordan visited the NBC's office where she granted an interview and sat down with TODAY's Hoda Kotb and discusses the situation of the globe and how she continues to find optimism for the future. 

When asked by Hoda about the state of the world and how in a dark place it is in, and how through her speeches, she brings out the light and how do you see – how do you find that hope? And how does she convey it? Her Majesty replied, "Well, you know, you're right. I think our world is at an inflection point, you know, and it seems like polarization is really a defining feature of our world. Whenever we see somebody who disagrees with us, it has become natural to demonize them."

Her Majesty continue with, "And when you see everything through a political lens, it becomes very difficult to come together over any issue. And the irony is that the issues that we're facing today, from climate change, to migration, to inequality – those all need solutions that come from collaboration. So, if we're not talking to one another, we're not going to be able to find resolution to some of these issues. And I just feel like, we need more engagement that is rooted in optimism and hope, rather than fear.

And, you know, there's this wave of populism around the world that's using people's fears and insecurities for leaders to gain popularity. And that's not finding – that's not very helpful, it's not finding solutions. So I think we need to focus more, not on the why, for example, when it comes to climate change, but on the how: How do we find solutions?"

She also discusses raising her four children in public and guiding them through social media and technology.

Speaking about HRH the Crown Prince and her other children, Her Majesty replied, saying this "It's just scary how time flies, right? I mean, you know, as parents, I think it's our job to, you know, take care of our kids until they are old enough to go out into the world… but that doesn't make it easy when that day comes, actually. And, you know, in the span of three months, from the end of March to the beginning of June, I had two children get married and two graduate. I mean, what was I thinking?"

When speaking about being now an empty nester, she replied this,"I'm an empty nester right now, you know, and it's just this wave of emotions. You know, with Iman, it was a new experience for our family because she's the first one to get married. And there was so much planning and anticipation, culminated in a really beautiful and emotional day. Nothing can prepare you for the moment you see your daughter in that white dress. You know, the mixture of emotions – pride at the strong and independent woman she's become, joy for her joy, sadness for her leaving home… it all comes together and nothing can prepare you for that."

 Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah attended the Women Rise for All Luncheon on the sidelines of the 78th annual United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) session in New York on Monday September 18th.

The event was hosted by Amina J. Mohammed, the United Nations Deputy Secretary-General (DSG), who created the Women Rise for All project in 2020 to highlight the importance of women's leadership in attaining the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The lunch, which is set to become an annual event, brought together roughly 90 female leaders from various sectors, including heads of state and government, civil society and international organisations, and the commercial sector, to celebrate and recognise women leaders everywhere.

The event featured conversations with former New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and Melinda French Gates, Co-chair of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and was attended by other high-profile visitors, including Her Majesty Queen Mathilde of Belgium and HRH Princess Mabel of the Netherlands.

 Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah attended the first meeting of the World Economic Forum's Giving to Amplify Earth Action (GAEA) initiative on Monday September 18th, which aims to establish public, private, and philanthropic partnerships (PPPPs) to tackle climate change and environmental damage.

Queen Rania will serve as a Global Co-Chair of GAEA, where she will help steer the organization's strategic priorities alongside Forum Founder and Executive Chairman Professor Klaus Schwab, who stated that Her Majesty's involvement in the initiative "will be instrumental in driving impactful climate action with partners."

Her Majesty stated during the conference that the globe has seen a number of climate disasters since the Forum declared its decision to begin GAEA during its annual meeting in January, with July being dubbed the hottest month in Earth's recorded history.

"My region is warming twice as fast as the global average, and experts predict that extreme heat will render large areas uninhabitable before the end of the century."

The Queen remarked that climate and nature receive less than 2% of worldwide philanthropic funding, adding, "If the end goal of philanthropy is to create impact, then there is no better place to start than with our planet."

"That is why I am delighted to join GAEA as Global Co-Chair," Her Majesty remarked. "Because we have a collective responsibility - and the collective capability - to meet our climate ambitions."

Professor Schwab stated during the meeting that "multiple global crises continue to threaten efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, with the climate crisis front and centre."

"Through the GAEA initiative," he said, "the World Economic Forum, with its commitment to improving the state of the world through multistakeholder collaboration, is convening leaders from philanthropy, governments, and the private sector to mobilise and accelerate action for the highest-impact interventions for climate and nature."

GAEA, a first-of-its-kind worldwide project, seeks to expand new and current governmental, corporate, and charitable partnerships in order to unlock the money required to achieve net-zero emissions, reverse nature loss, and restore biodiversity by 2050.

The meeting, held on the sidelines of the 78th United Nations General Assembly as part of the Forum's Sustainable Development Impact Meetings, brought together more than 30 leaders from government, business, and civil society to discuss how to leverage philanthropy to drive climate-related partnerships.

GAEA has identified a number of major industries where philanthropic funds would have the most impact using a new methodology created in cooperation with McKinsey Sustainability. This approach intends to enable governments and corporations to achieve climate action more quickly and efficiently.

During the session, a number of environmental projects were presented, each with the potential to be scaled up. These included initiatives to encourage green energy transitions in poor countries, expedite market adoption of plant-rich diets, scale clean electricity, and save coastal forests.

GAEA will engage with important partners in the coming months to incubate a new generation of public-private-philanthropic collaborations, with the Forum assisting in identifying significant corporates and governments eager to match philanthropic promises and action for climate mitigation and nature preservation.

 On the side-lines of the 78th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah attended UNICEF's Champions for Children: Child Rights at the Heart of the SDGs reception event in New York on Sunday September 17th.

The event, hosted by UNICEF's Executive Director, Catherine Russell, and featuring US First Lady Dr. Jill Biden as a keynote speaker, aims to put children at the centre of achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by emphasising their empowerment and the need to invest in their future.

According to the publication Progress on Children's Well-Being: Centering Child Rights in the 2030 Agenda, two-thirds of child-related indicators are falling short of meeting the 2030 SDGs target. According to the research, only 6% of the world's kid population, living in just 11 nations, has met 50% of child-related benchmarks as of today. If current trends continue, only 60 countries - home to only 25% of the world's children - are likely to have met their targets by 2030, leaving about 1.9 billion children in 140 countries behind.

The research weaves together over 20 years of data from over 190 nations, comparing where governments are now to where they want to be in the next seven years, and finding difficulties and opportunities for expedited action. The findings paint a mixed picture of development and regress in relation to global goals.

The report also demonstrates that with strong national commitment, good policies, and enough money, faster development is conceivable, with certain low and lower-middle-income countries making the fastest pace.

The event featured a part on methods to champion children in areas such as health, education, climate, and peace-building activities, and was attended by youth advocates, UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors, and numerous high-profile visitors.

Other prominent speakers included Her Majesty Queen Mathilde of the Belgians and UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, actor Orlando Bloom.
