While the UAE government is taking all steps in right direction so that the effects of climate change are mitigated in the region & side-by-side it is supporting other developing nations also by way of sustainable technology share & monetary assistance as well.

While the government is doing its part, the active public partnership is equally important in order to ensure that Green & sustainable practices are carried out at the individual level as well. A simple example of this is the Water conservation. While community level efforts are there & they are saving water in parks, landscaping etc. but what about the homes. People are leaving the taps open & precious water is just being wasted down the drain.

In the houses, they Need aerators to be fitted in the taps. Also they need LED lights, Green Air-Conditioners, Solar Heaters & there are so many new innovations & items that are made available every day in the vibrant market of the UAE. Here the consumer becomes confused, what to buy, how much & from where.

In order to eradicate this confusion & instill confidence among the UAE public on online portal named THE GREEN DEAL PROJECT is being introduced & launched w.e.f 27-Oct-15.

It is launched by The Dubai Green Economy Partnership. This will guarantee the viability of the products listed & will promote the usage of green products that will eventually reduce cost, reduce the energy usage & reduce the water consumption in our homes. Before, posing on this web portal The Dubai Green Economy Partnership will make sure that the products are of the best quality at available rate & it will perform as per listed specifications. This platform will bring together companies with clean or green technologies and end-users in one venue online to facilitate a hassle-free adoption of green products.

The products will be easy to install & finance option swill also be made available through banks for those who cannot afford the initial cost. Green Deal will shorten if not eliminate unnecessary steps in going green. If one wants to install a solar water heater, for example, Green Deal will provide options for product suppliers whose products have been pre-approved, complete services for the installation of the product, and even financing schemes from its partner banks.

This kind of assurance is very important in order to take public along with the road to sustainability & in the long run to mitigate the effect of climate change.
