UAE President declares 2023 the "Year of Sustainable Development"

“The Year of Sustainable Development will feature initiatives and activities based on the values of the UAE environmental security and the legacy of the founding father of the state Sheikh Zayed,” the UAE President, His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan stated.

The year of 2023 is intended to demonstrate the UAE commitment to strengthening global cooperation in search for innovative solutions related to energy and climate change. According to the Emirati leader, the UAE has long been implementing measures to protect the environment at the federal level, including the Net Zero 2050 strategic initiative to achieve zero emissions by 2050 adopted by the Authorities.

The highlight of the Year of Sustainable Development is the UN Climate Conference COP28 to be hosted by Dubai in December. Recently, the UAE has unveiled an official COP28 logo, inspired by a "One World" concept – the images of people, technologies, wild animals and nature scattered over the globe.
