Introduction Programs aimed at stopping the threat of global warming are part of many government policies. In a number of states, authorities develop projects aimed at preventing the harmful effects of anthropogenic activities on the environment and, in particular, controlling harmful carbon dioxide emissions. According to Mezher, Dawelbait, and Tsaia (2016), the UAE is a country in which the influence of negative environmental impacts is acute due to the industrial features of development in the state and intensive oil refining. As a result, the local government addresses global warming issues and, as Patel and Griffiths (2013) note, one of the steps in creating a futuristic and advanced Masdar City. This project is an eco-friendly location with modern energy consumption and processing system and safe living conditions. At the moment, the city is under construction, and, according to Madhu and Pauliuk (2019), it will include unique achievements in the field of the mitigation of environmental impacts. Ibrahim (2016, p. 50) states that 80% of the whole energy produced will be solar. Thus, due to innovative technologies, the Masdar City program can help minimize a dangerous environmental effect and inhibit global warming. Challenge One of the key challenges that underlie this issue is a wide range of tasks that are to be implemented to create a stable and reliable eco-friendly zone. According to Mezher, Dawelbait, and Tsaia (2016), the difficulty is to develop an industrial regime in which enterprises could be independent of fossil fuels that, in turn, harm the atmosphere when burned. Therefore, the relevance of the issue lies in the need to find a way of minimizing the use of traditional production technologies and move on to an advanced energy production strategy with highly effective opportunities. In addition to the increasing threat of global warming due to the high concentration of harmful emissions in the atmosphere, some other challenges also arise as a result of increased anthropogenic activities. Cugurullo (2016, p. 2419) argues that “resource scarcity, population growth, climate change and the Arab Spring” may be the causes of the need to find strategies to address the effects of pollution. Social difficulties and disagreements distract attention from more global issues, and the UAE government is forced to look for urgent ways of solving the problem of a steady rise in temperature. While being one of the largest oil-producing states, the country is at risk of an environmental disaster if no measures are taken. Therefore, the development of Masdar City near Abu Dhabi is one of the relevant steps aimed at demonstrating the modern capabilities and resources that the UAE possesses to solve the issue of global warming. Solution As a result of intensive work and the introduction of innovative technologies in both the social and industrial sectors, the Masdar City project is an objectively logical solution. To address the problem of global warming caused by the irrational use of fossil fuels, alternative power resources may be applied. One of the most weighty arguments in favor of such a program is the promotion of the use of solar energy in large quantities. Both re
