The Secretariat General of the Arab League and the Council of Arab Environment Ministers have designated Abu Dhabi as the Arab Environment Capital for 2023. This honor underscores the emirate's notable achievements in environmental preservation and climate action, spearheaded by the Environment Agency - Abu Dhabi (EAD).
The accolade follows Abu Dhabi's victory in a competition held by the Council of Arab Ministers Responsible for the Environment during its 34th session in Muscat. Notably, this accolade coincides with significant local and global events: the UAE's declaration of 2023 as the Year of Sustainability under the theme "Today for Tomorrow," and the hosting of COP28.
Abu Dhabi's winning submission was prepared in collaboration with local partners, including the Abu Dhabi Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT), Abu Dhabi Sustainable Water Solutions Company (ADSWS), Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority (ADAFSA), Abu Dhabi Waste Management Company Tadweer, and the Department of Energy (DOE).
The emirate has implemented a comprehensive plan for land transport, low-emission vehicles, and traffic management, aligning with environmental, social, and economic objectives. Noteworthy initiatives include the integration of renewable energy technologies into public transportation infrastructure, the use of solar-powered buses, and the promotion of alternative transportation modes like bicycles.
Efforts to combat land degradation and preserve biodiversity have also been prioritized. Abu Dhabi has established forest areas to mitigate sand encroachment, developed strategic plans to address climate change impacts, and introduced measures to protect endangered species and their habitats.
Moreover, the emirate manages a significant number of natural reserves and forests, covering a substantial portion of its total area. Abu Dhabi is committed to international standards for reserve management and environmental research, with a focus on data transparency and public engagement.
Air quality improvement remains a key objective, with initiatives targeting emissions reduction and noise pollution mitigation. Abu Dhabi's proactive approach to environmental stewardship underscores its dedication to sustainable development and the well-being of its residents and ecosystems.
