On October 31st 2020 at 1:56pm, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum (Vice President, Prime Minister of the UAE, and Ruler of Dubai) announced on Twitter that he and his team are working on 29 new projects. The aim of the projects is to improve the quality of life and build the future of the United Arab Emirates. 

The first base of the project is to be completed in 2023  and the whole project being ready by 2024. One of the projects worth 4 billion dollars is producing energy through treating waste in Dubai accommodating 1000 garbage trucks per day that is enough to generate electricity for 350,000 homes. This is evident through his twitter post that states “Dubai is a clean city, its energy is clean, its neighborhoods are clean and its energy resources must be kept clean.” 

In Abu Dhabi, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan (Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi) is working on the Al Hudayriat recreational project. The crown prince states his objective of developing unique environmental projects is to ensure a healthier lifestyle for the community whilst attracting visitors and tourists. 

The Hudayriat island will get new leisure activities and attractions for both children and adults like obstacle parks, cycling tracks, BMX tracks, climbing wall, high ropes course, and a zip line. After years of making this new 3000 hectare waterfront community has been opened considering it a “gift” for the people in Abu Dhabi.

 “Providing a clean environment is at the heart of our efforts to advance the development and provide a high quality of life both now and in the future. We have adopted global best practices and implemented innovative projects to preserve our environment and protect the health and safety of people in the UAE” saids Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum. 

The United Arab Emirates is committed to implementing new innovative projects optimizing the use of resources to solve challenges as part of the country’s strategy to ensure environmental sustainability.
