Sharm El Sheikh-Egypt – The Ministry of Climate Change and Environment (MOCCAE) introduced the second edition of the UAE Green Business Toolkit in partnership with the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) as part of its participation in the 27th UN Climate Change Conference (COP27), held in the Egyptian city of Sharm El Sheikh. The move aligns with the UAE’s pathway to net zero and supports sustainable economic development.

The launch took place during a fireside chat, headlined by Her Excellency Mariam bint Mohammed Almheiri, Minister of Climate Change and Environment, and moderated by Helena McLeod, Deputy Director-General of GGGI.

Her Excellency said: “Our ability to tackle the challenge of climate change and deliver tangible results in its mitigation and adaptation depends on the active participation of all sectors in our net-zero efforts. Therefore, the UAE prioritizes private sector engagement in all its future plans. The Toolkit is part of MOCCAE’s efforts to enhance the contribution of private sector companies to the fight against climate change by adopting green and sustainable practices in line with the objectives of the UAE Net Zero by 2050 Strategic Initiative.”
