The Ministry of Environment and Water (MoEW) has joined two networks hosted by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). The networks comprise policy experts, and the UAE will share its experiences on implementing programmes under the UAE Green Agenda 2015-2030.
The UAE is now a part of the Sustainable Public Procurement (SPP) programme. This is a global platform of 81 organisations that share experiences in implementing SPP policy around the world.
The group aims to enhance knowledge on SPP and its effectiveness as a tool for promoting a 'green' economy, and support its implementation on the ground through collaboration and better access to capacity building tools and SPP experts' support.
The UAE has also become a member of the Consumer Information Programme comprising 52 partner organisations, including 21 governments. This programme assists government agencies and stakeholders in their efforts to provide clear, accurate and reliable information about a product's impact on the planet and the people. It aims to enhance the efficiency of existing information tools such as eco-labels by harnessing essential data and criteria, and explore new communication channels that could effectively reach consumers.
"The total government spending in the UAE accounts for 24 per cent of GDP," said Dr Rashid Ahmed bin Fahad, Minister of Environment and Water. "As the largest consumer, the government's purchase of green products and services will provide a great opportunity to drive markets towards the green economy.
