This group provides a platform to coordinate multi-sector collaboration, influence national climate policies, and mobilize resources for a sustainable and resilient future. Together, we aim to strengthen the UAE’s role in global climate action and support disaster risk reduction and biodiversity efforts at all levels. Join us to drive innovation, engage stakeholders, and build a sustainable future for the UAE and beyond!
