The Tree of Life at COP28 is not just a captivating digital artwork, but a powerful symbol of transformation.
And also a tangible commitment to sustainability.
This AI-driven creation not only offers an immersive experience for attendees, but it will also undergo a unique metamorphosis after the conference.
By transforming into plush bean bags donated to charity.
The Tree of Life at COP28: symbolizes stability and peace.
Located at the heart of the Energy Transition Hub in the Green Zone, the Tree of Life takes inspiration from the Ghaf tree.
Which is indigenous to the UAE and known for its resilience in harsh environments.
Farah Ballout, Project Manager at INVNT, explains the vision behind the artwork:
“The Tree of Life symbolizes stability and peace.
It was made in the UAE and designed for future repurposing.
The steel structure will be melted down, the styrofoam cladding transformed into bean bags, and the processors used for future immersive installations.”
Beyond its physical transformation, the Tree of Life fosters a connection between visitors and the crucial themes of COP28.
The artwork on screens around the base guides individuals to participate in a pledge.
It also encourages them to reflect on their commitment to sustainability.

Participants like Lihui from Singapore praised this imitative saying:
This is a very smart initiative, to get people to think about how they can contribute in various spheres around matters related to environmental conservation.
Also, the interactive feature helps people to share which country they are from in an innovative way.”
