United Arab Emirates (UAE) Declares 2023 as the “Year of Sustainability”

In an effort to raise awareness about the importance of sustainable practices, the UAE has declared 2023 as the “Year of Sustainability”. The government aims to reduce the country’s carbon footprint and promote environmentally friendly initiatives, such as the use of renewable energy sources, sustainable urban development, sustainable tourism, and sustainable agricultural practices.

The President, His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed, said that “effective climate action requires a shared vision and collective will,” and several companies and entrepreneurs have already expressed their commitment to making a more sustainable future.

Committed Entrepreneurs: Leading by Example

A number of companies and entrepreneurs are already taking steps towards a more sustainable future. For example, The H Dubai hotel has been awarded the Green Key Certificate, and has implemented several initiatives to reduce their carbon footprint, including installing a Power Knot LFC-100 Biodigester to improve food waste management and reduce waste. The General Manager of The H Dubai, Sophie Blondel, stated that “we relish our participation in this nationwide initiative and will continue to regularly make efforts and initiate further actions to promote sustainability in our hotel.”

The UAE’s declaration of 2023 as the “Year of Sustainability” highlights the importance of taking action towards a more sustainable future, and companies and entrepreneurs alike are stepping up to meet this challenge.
