WGES to focus on energy, finance and food security
DUBAI: The 8th World Green Economy Summit (WGES) will host a large number of international speakers, officials, representatives of government organisations, major corporates, experts, academicians and leaders of sustainability funding from around the world.
The participants will discuss several themes, such as energy, finance, food security, youth, and other topics that accelerate the transition towards a green economy and drive sustainable development.
The Summit is organised by Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) and the World Green Economy Organisation (WGEO), and the Dubai Supreme Council of Energy on Sept.28 - 29, 2022, at the Dubai World Trade Centre.
It will be held in conjunction with the 24th Water, Energy, Technology and Environment Exhibition (WETEX) and Dubai Solar Show, which is also organised by DEWA from Sept.27 to 29, 2022.
The Summit brings together a large number of officials, experts, and specialists from around the world.
Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, Vice Chairman of the Dubai Supreme Council of Energy, MD & CEO of DEWA and Chairman of WGEO, said, “The World Green Economy Summit will bring together key decision-makers, experts and specialists to explore avenues to accelerate the transformation towards a green economy. The Summit supports the proactive approach adopted by the UAE in the climate action process to achieve sustainable and comprehensive economic development. The Summit will build on the progress made since the seventh Dubai declaration and the ambitions contained in the framework of the declaration.”
“The eighth Dubai declaration, which will be launched at the conclusion of the Summit, is of great importance, given that the region will host the 27th and 28th sessions of the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the UNFCC. COP27 will be held in Egypt next November and COP28 will be held in the UAE next year.
“This spearheads our efforts to shape the sustainability agenda by promoting effective adaption and mitigation strategies.”
