Efforts towards sustainability

Plans and initiatives for sustainable water and energy infrastructure include the UAE Energy Strategy 2050, Madar’s advanced energy-efficient desalination pilot project, Dubai Integrated Energy Strategy 2030, Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 and Ras Al Khaimah Energy Efficiency and Renewables Strategy 2040.

In the past few years, the UAE has come a long way in meeting the challenges of energy and climate change, under the framework of Vision 2021 and the strategic plans of each emirate. The UAE has built the enablers which correspond to the sustainable development goals (SDGs) set out by the United Nations for 2030. In addition, the UAE committed more than USD 840 million (AED 3.1 billion) to renewable energy in more than 30 countries.
