In the video, the public was urged to visit the campaign website, sustainableuae.ae, which showcases national initiatives and success stories in sustainability.
Moreover, it featured “The Founding Father’s Legacy” which highlights the approach and legacy of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, in the field of sustainability.
The “Climate Makers” focuses on members of the UAE community who are undertaking innovative climate and environmental initiatives to build a sustainable future, while the “Road to Zero” reflects the UAE’s actions across multiple fields to achieve net zero in line with its national targets.
Meanwhile, the “Green Architecture” reveals some of the UAE’s most iconic and sustainable buildings. The “Reserve” shows the country’s collaborative initiatives and innovative solutions to protecting its delicate and unique natural ecosystems.
