Etihad Airways with EAD launches program to reduce carbon footprint

Etihad Airways in collaboration with Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi (EAD) has launched the Etihad Mangrove Forest to provide guests, corporate accounts and partners the ability to adopt mangroves in Abu Dhabi to reduce their carbon footprint.

In line with the Abu Dhabi Mangrove initiative by EAD, the Etihad Mangrove Forest is the culmination of multiple joint programs between Etihad, EAD, Jubail Island, The Storey Group and other partners to support mangrove conservation projects in the nation and develop new carbon sinks and natural resources to remove carbon from the atmosphere under the principle “Abu Dhabi for the World”.

Following the launch of the Abu Dhabi Mangrove initiative, the organizations are aligned under an ongoing MoU to combat local and national environmental goals, including decarbonization, waste management and single-use plastics reduction. Biodiversity is the next step for Etihad to explore the promotion of conservation efforts for the native mangroves of the UAE.
