DEWA participates in the 4th Emirates Nature-WWF Leaders of Change programme

Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) is participating in the fourth cycle of the Leaders of Change Programme, an initiative by Emirates Nature-WWF, the UAE-based environmental organisation affiliated with the World Wildlife Fund for Nature (WWF). The programme aims to enhance knowledge of the local natural environment while developing employee expertise through training sessions, field visits and interactive activities across the UAE. It focuses on honing personal and professional skills, promoting community engagement in climate action and shaping a positive future for nature. To date, 334 participants from various DEWA divisions have taken part in the programme.

“DEWA provides its employees with training opportunities that instil a culture of sustainability and environmental stewardship, enabling them to enhance their contribution to sustainable development. As a socially responsible organisation, we encourage employees and stakeholders to fulfil their environmental, volunteer and community responsibilities, and motivate them to work as one team to achieve Dubai’s sustainability goals. DEWA is among the leading institutions supporting national efforts to protect natural resources, promote community awareness of environmental and societal responsibilities, and engage the public in sustainability programmes and initiatives,” said HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA.

Laila Mostafa Abdullatif, Director General of Emirates Nature-WWF, said: “We are delighted to welcome DEWA and its employees to Emirates Nature-WWF’s Leaders of Change programme for the fourth consecutive year. Leaders of Change is a nationwide initiative that empowers individuals from all walks of life to take meaningful action for nature and climate. DEWA employees bring remarkable passion and purpose to every experience – from hands-on conservation and citizen science to training sessions – contributing to environmental conservation in the UAE and helping shape a sustainable future.”

DEWA participants praised the programme for enriching their knowledge and skills related to the local environment through environmental activities and field visits conducted with specialised teams across the UAE, contributing to projects that create lasting and positive impact.
