Dubai Carbon honoured His Excellency Dr Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, Minister of Climate Change and Environment, with a framed copy of The Sustainabilist magazine to acknowledge his contribution to achieving the UAE’s sustainable development goals.
His Excellency Dr Al Zeyoudi led the development of the National Climate Change Plan of the UAE 2017-2050, spearheaded the establishment of the Emirates Committee for Sustainable Environment Research, facilitated several productive collaborations with the private sector and implemented multiple initiatives to support climate change policies in the UAE. All these achievements were highlighted in The Sustainabilist, the UAE’s leading resource on sustainable development.
Speaking on the accolade, His Excellency Dr Al Zeyoudi said: “I deeply appreciate this recognition. Raising awareness on best practices and trends in the field of sustainability is crucial to sustainable development in the UAE. Dubai Carbon’s The Sustainabilist plays an instrumental role in achieving this priority. I extend my sincere gratitude to the people behind the magazine for their commitment to consolidating knowledge across the UAE to facilitate the country’s transition to a low-carbon, green economy.”
“The UAE has taken a global lead in developing as a sustainable country, and this requires not just technical solutions but a holistic approach. The commitment, passion and vision of His Excellency Dr Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi have helped increase awareness of the economic and environmental benefits of sustainable practices across the seven emirates,” said Ivano Iannelli, CEO of Dubai Carbon.
