Sharjah-based developer Arada signs agreement to boost environmental sustainability

Arada, a leading real estate developer in Sharjah that focuses on building fully integrated, smart, and sustainable communities, has signed an agreement with the UAE Ministry of Climate Change and Environment as part of its efforts to enhance environmental sustainability and promote the concept among the community. The MoU was sealed by Sheikh Sultan bin Ahmed Al Qasimi, Chairman of Arada, and Dr Abdullah Belhaif Al Nuaimi, Minister of Climate Change and Environment, during an event held at Manbat, the farmers' market within the Aljada community in Sharjah. The deal coincided with the 24th National Environment Day, being held under the theme Green Recovery. Sheikh Sultan said: "This National Environment Day, we are very proud to cement our partnership with MOCCAE, which aligns perfectly with Arada's aim to become a leader in the development of sustainable communities." "Our collaboration has begun with the launch of Manbat but will expand to embrace a wide range of activities aimed at raising environmental awareness not just in our own communities but across the country, in addition to helping improve the UAE's future food security," he added. Areas of cooperation covered in the agreement include sustainability-centered projects and programs targeting youth, and initiatives focused on enhancing food security, such
