Furthermore, DEWA, in collaboration with the Emirates Down Syndrome Association, organised interactive activities and workshops stressing the importance of engaging all members of society in sustainable development efforts, benefiting both people and the environment. DEWA also distributed ‘Zayed Ghafah’ seeds to raise awareness about the significance of preserving the local environment and celebrating the rich Emirati environmental heritage. This initiative aims to showcase the local environment's rich wildlife and demonstrate methods to protect it, particularly highlighting the importance of the ghaf tree, which offers numerous environmental benefits such as carbon absorption to mitigate climate change.
DEWA also launched an awareness competition through its official social media channels to showcase its sustainability projects and encourage public participation in building a more sustainable future. DEWA has encouraged customers to utilise its smart app, which provides access to the “Consumption Data” dashboard, enabling them to monitor their consumption and obtain annual, monthly, and daily consumption reports. The app also offers personalised tips to help enhance consumption efficiency.
