Dubai has unveiled plans for a groundbreaking environmental initiative, setting its sights on a significant expansion of green spaces and a prominent position among the top-10 sustainability-driven cities by 2033.
Under the leadership of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister, and Ruler of Dubai, the establishment of the Dubai Environment and Climate Change Authority has been decreed. This strategic move aims to propel sustainable practices across various sectors, safeguard biodiversity, and amplify the presence of natural reserves and verdant havens throughout the emirate.
This visionary endeavor is poised to lay a robust groundwork for a thriving green economy while elevating Dubai’s stature in the global campaign against climate change.
The newly formed Environment and Climate Change Authority is dedicated to advancing the environmental aspirations of the emirate. It pledges to double Dubai’s green cover by 100% and bolster the expanse of protected areas and natural reserves by 60% come 2040.
