![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() While The World Climate Summit is due to commence on 06-Dec-15 in Paris, France, the UAE stands committed on its green goals. The participation forms part of the UAE Government?s solid commitment to enhancing cooperation with the international community in addressing climate change and showcasing their active role in adopting the best sustainable practices though renewable energy projects and support for related research and development activities. The Supreme Council of Energy and DEWA [Dubai Electricity & Water Authority] remains fully committed in playing a key role in the efforts towards sustainable development. The Dubai Supreme Council of Energy, works to achieve the goal of UAE Vision 2021 to position the UAE as one of the best countries by 2021, the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 to generate 75 per cent of Dubai?s total power output from clean energy and support the long-term national Green Economy for Sustainable Development initiative to enhance the competitiveness and sustainability of the UAE economy and make the country an international model for green-based initiatives and sustainability. The UAE presented its Intended Nationally-Determined Contributions (INDCs) to address climate change along with 145 other countries, actively supporting the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The UAE is firmly committed to the adoption of economic diversity and a sustainable development strategy that focuses on implementing knowledge, innovation, and sustainable growth to guarantee economic prosperity. The country will continue to launch ambitious initiatives in support of the renewable energy sector and put effective mechanisms in place to limit carbon emissions. It shows without doubt that in the long term UAE will achieve its sustainability goals & in short term as well, they constantly strive to put sustainability before the reckless industrial progress. This puts UAE apart from the other countries who do not take this seriously & linger on these targets set. For reference purpose I have attached the official presentation of COP21 summit. |
