DUBAI, 14th August, 2022 (WAM) -- Under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA), and the World Green Economy Organisation (WGEO), will organise the 8th World Green Economy Summit (WGES) on 28th and 29th September, 2022, in conjunction with the Water, Energy, Technology and Environment Exhibition (WETEX) and Dubai Solar Show (DSS).

Besides its leading role in promoting a green economy, the WGES plays a key role in supporting the UAE’s outstanding climate action efforts and its commitment to sustainability. It also reflects the UAE’s unlimited support for energy and climate change issues and developing sustainable solutions to environmental challenges.

This supports the UAE’s preparations to host the 28th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP28) at Expo City Dubai in 2023. This is the most important and largest international conference on climate action that brings together world leaders, underlining the UAE’s leadership and its widely recognised efforts in climate action.

Since its launch in 2014, the WGES has succeeded in galvanising global efforts to promote the shift towards a green economy and has provided a strategic platform
