UAE's Green Journey of 2014 |
|---|
|
It has been quite an interesting journey for UAE this year encompassing a multitude of initiatives specifically in the environmental sector.
The year started off with the World future energy summit,one of the most famous sustainability summits in the world, where many like-minded leaders gathered to discuss and debate environmental issues at hand. It was hosted by Abu dhabi as a part of the initiative ?Abu Dhabi Sustainability week?. Other than hosting international summits, the nation also took regional initiative, one of the most prominent ones being the UAE Green Festival which was designed specially to educate people residing in the UAE about a greener way of living life under the theme "Live, learn and have fun in a low-carbon world" Few months back, Dubai added another feather to its cap by introducing green vehicles in its fleet of taxis. These are called HEVs (Hybrid Electric Vehicles) . Using hybrid cars also saved millions of dirhams spent by the Dubai Government on fuel subsidies. Dubai too set an ideal example of a green transport system.
The biggest step the UAE took this year which would be a turning-point is the 2021 Dubai Plan which highlights development aims for Dubai and UAE as a whole, forming the country?s vision for 2021. In my perception, all these signs not only indicate that UAE is accelerating towards a greener tomorrow but also towards a happier, more developed and successful future.
