WITH YOUR SUPPORT, WE CAN ENSURE A BALANCED AND HEALTHIER FUTURE FOR OUR SEAS





Historical heatwaves and severe winter storms that recently battered the UAE and Gulf region are stark reminders that our climate is increasingly chaotic due to human activity.

While businesses are responsible for a large portion of carbon emissions causing global warming, they are also positioned to champion solutions. With ambition and progressive thinking, we can rise to the challenge of ensuring a sustainable and profitable future.

As the government continues looking towards a post-oil future, there’s never been a better time to shape future policies that will complement economic growth and sustainability. We need the UAE’s most innovative companies on board to create these solutions.

Why the UAE's private sector needs to play a role in climate change solutions:

- The private sector accounts for 38% of all electricity and 19% of all water consumption in the UAE (EWS-WWF, 2016);

- In 2014, the energy sector accounted for 80% of all greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, with 35% directly coming from the power sector (Ministry of Energy, 2016);

- While the UAE's total carbon emissions are small on a global scale, per capita emissions are five times the world average, with the private sector contributing a great amount of our emissions.

Why sponsor the Climate Change & Energy Programme?
Partnering with EWS-WWF, your organisation can take real action by supporting local initiatives around climate change risks, energy/fuel efficiency and increasing renewable energy.

In return, our partners have the opportunity to get involved with us in a wide range of activities, from ground-breaking regional research, to stakeholder engagement, speaking and networking events, insight on market expansions, as well as branding benefits positioning your organisation as a leading champion for sustainability in the UAE.

WITH YOUR SUPPORT, WE CAN SCALE UP OUR IMPACT ENABLING THE UAE TO EMBRACE LOW-CARBON DEVELOPMENT AND PLAY A KEY ROLE IN THE FIGHT AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE
