World Energy Day

World Energy Day is an initiative endorsed by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, along with a broad coalition of nations and international organisations, including the United Nations, the League of Arab States and the African Union Commission, during the World Energy Forum 2012 in Dubai. At the conclusion of the forum, the ‘Dubai Declaration’ was issued under the theme ‘Energy for All’, designating 22 October of every year as World Energy Day.

This global observance aims to raise awareness on the importance of conserving natural resources by promoting energy and water sustainability, reducing carbon emissions and encouraging the use of renewable energy sources. It also supports environmental protection, the green economy and the preservation of fossil fuels, contributing to energy efficiency and sustainable development.

Objectives of World Energy Day
The day aims to ensure access to safe and sustainable energy for all through the development of national policies aligned with global energy strategies and the strengthening of international cooperation through the exchange of knowledge and best practices. It also focuses on building human capacity in the energy sector to accelerate the transition towards clean and secure energy, while emphasising the role of renewable energy in shaping a sustainable future for generations to come.

Leading the Transition to Net Zero
This year’s theme, ‘Leading the Transition to Net Zero’, highlights the importance of advancing sustainable practices, expanding renewable energy adoption and supporting the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 and the Dubai Net Zero Carbon Emissions Strategy 2050. The theme reaffirms Dubai’s position as a global hub for clean energy and the green economy, and its commitment to a sustainable, low-carbon future.
