I am proud to share that I attended the Inaugural Ceremony and various events at Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week –Eco Generation Youth from Dubai, United Arab Emirates The United Arab Emirates believes that by innovating through action, and empowering others through collaborative engagement, we can help support the international movement towards sustainable development. The UAE believes that maintaining sustainable economies, environments and societies can and should happen in every corner of the world. Innovating for a sustainable future lies deep within the UAE?s heritage. The countrys founders recognized the need to conserve and preserve our resources for succeeding generations.
