“The UAE’s wise leadership places great importance on environmental sustainability, rooted in a firm and enduring approach established by the Founding Father, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, may his soul rest in peace, who made environmental protection and the preservation of natural resources an integral pillar of the UAE’s comprehensive and sustainable development journey. Guided by this forward‑looking vision, the UAE has consolidated its position as a global model for climate action and sustainable development through pioneering policies and innovative initiatives that balance economic growth with environmental protection. At Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA), we are inspired by the vision and directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to embed sustainability as a core pillar across all our strategies, projects and initiatives while continuing to support Dubai’s efforts to accelerate the transition towards a green economy and achieve net zero,” said HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA.

“In line with the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 and the Dubai Net Zero Carbon Emissions Strategy 2050, which aim to provide 100% of Dubai’s energy production capacity from clean sources by 2050, we continue to implement leading renewable and clean energy projects. As a result, clean energy now accounts for more than 21.5% of DEWA’s total energy production capacity. World Environment Day is an important occasion to renew our commitment to environmental protection, raise awareness about the responsible use of natural resources and highlight efforts and initiatives that support the transition towards a green economy and low‑carbon development, thereby enhancing quality of life and ensuring a more sustainable future for present and future generations,” added Al Tayer.
