Egypt and the UAE are preparing to host the UN Climate Change Conference COP27 and COP28 in 2022 and 2023 respectively. The Arab world is central to global activities that aim to enhance climate action and achieve global targets. The World Green Economy Summit will contribute to strengthening cooperation among partners and stakeholders, as well as set the ideal environment for holding these two global events,” said Al Tayer.
WGES 2022 will bring together prominent speakers, experts, thought leaders and decision-makers. It will focus on four main themes: Energy, Finance, Food Security, and Youth. It will also feature a Ministerial Roundtable with about 25 ministers from around the world.
During WGES 2022, winners in the 4th Emirates Energy Award will be recognised. The Award is organised by the Dubai Supreme Council of Energy under the patronage of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum with the theme ‘Inspiring Innovation for Sustainable Energy’.
