World Green Economy Forum Launched in Dubai


The 10th World Green Economy Summit has opened in Dubai, where global leaders and experts have gathered to push forward the agenda for a sustainable green economy.

The event runs from October 2-3 at the Dubai World Trade Centre. The summit emphasises the need for collective action and innovation to address climate change while promoting sustainable development.

His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman of the Dubai Supreme Council of Energy, officially inaugurated the event. This year’s theme is 'Empowering Global Action: Unlocking Opportunities and Advancing Progress'.

The summit serves as a vital platform for collaboration among officials and decision-makers, aiming to accelerate climate action and explore innovative solutions for sustainability.

Ahmad Al Muhairbi, Secretary-General of the Dubai Supreme Council of Energy (DSCE), highlighted that the UAE continues to pioneer the transition towards a green economy, citing pioneering projects in renewable energy, such as the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park in Dubai and nuclear and solar energy projects in Abu Dhabi.

The DSCE Secretary-General also confirmed that Dubai aims to increase the share of clean energy in its energy mix to 27-28 percent by 2030. He highlighted the successful retrofitting of 10,000 buildings and the increase of electric vehicles to 30,000, contributing to emission reductions and environmental sustainability.

Since its launch in 2014, the World Green Economy Summit has brought together leaders and stakeholders to develop strategies that harmonize economic growth with environmental protection.
