Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week

The United Arab Emirates believes that by innovating through action, and empowering others throughcollaborative 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.
Our efforts however, extend beyond our borders - bridging the gap between the developed and developingworlds, and enhancing international efforts to put the planet on a sustainable path.
With that in mind, and in response to the great efforts exerted by the Brazilian government at the RIO+20 Earth
Summit and the global call to action – the UAE has launched the Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week.
