"We renew our determination to continue working with various countries of the world to confront the risks facing the environment and to build on the historic UAE agreement resulting from the COP28 conference for a better future for humanity," he added.
Throughout last year, the Year of Sustainability championed raising awareness of the UAE's sustainability values, encouraging behaviour changes that inspire collective progress. This year, the theme continues to invite everyone that calls the UAE home to join in the collective effort to adopt sustainable practices through a range of community-driven initiatives and activities themed around sustainability.
The Year of Sustainability team, driven by the achievements of 2023, extends its invitation to individuals and communities to engage in shaping initiatives for the coming year. All ideas for impactful activities, innovative initiatives, and community-driven projects are welcomed and can be shared via email at Contact@UAEYearOf.ae.
The year-long activations will be overseen by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice President, Deputy Prime Minister, and Chairman of the Presidential Court, and Sheikha Mariam bint Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan. Further announcements detailing the upcoming activities and initiatives will be made soon.
