“The UAE, under the wise leadership of His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE; His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai; and His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces; attaches great importance to achieving a balance between development and maintaining a clean, healthy, and safe environment. The approval by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum of a national system for environmentally-friendly hydrogen fuel-powered vehicles and a national water and energy demand management programme to increase the efficiency of the transport, industry and construction sectors by 40%, is a pioneering step that underlines the insightful vision of our wise leadership who not only anticipates the future but also makes it. The UAE leads global efforts in the clean and renewable energy sector through its strategies and investments in this field in addition to adopting the latest innovations, stimulating and promoting green investments, initiatives and programmes to mitigate the effects of climate change and global warming. This move also highlights the continuous efforts of the UAE Government to achieve a balance between economic growth and the environment, and promote a culture of conservation to ensure the sustainability of our precious resources for generations to come,” said HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA.
