World Energy Day

World Energy Day is an initiative endorsed by HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, along with 54 countries, the United Nations, the Arab League and the African Union Commission, who consented to make it a yearly celebration through the "Dubai Declaration – Energy for All" on 22 October 2012.

World Energy Day aims to raise awareness about the importance of preserving our natural resources by highlighting energy and water sustainability, reducing the world’s carbon footprint, utilising renewable energy, preserving fossil fuels, and supporting the green economy. This contributes to protecting the environment, increasing energy efficiency and promoting sustainability.

What are the objectives of the World Energy Day?

Ensuring the affordability of safe and sustainable energy for everyone by identifying the need to develop national policies to reflect a shared global energy perspective. The objectives also include strengthening policies relevant to implementing and developing mechanisms and frameworks for different countries around the world to exchange experiences. This includes promoting the development of human resources to pursue the common good on behalf of everyone. This is achieved by accelerating the process of the transformation to safer and appropriate renewable energy sources.
