The World Green Economy Organization (WGEO) has unveiled ‘Green Circles’, a new global dialogue platform designed to bring together policymakers, business leaders and sustainability experts to accelerate the transition towards a low-carbon, inclusive green economy.

The initiative aims to align visions and actions across the public and private sectors, fostering strategic partnerships that translate sustainability commitments into measurable outcomes. By encouraging open, results-driven dialogue, Green Circles seeks to turn global climate ambitions into practical solutions that support sustainable economic models.

Highlighting the significance of the platform, HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, Chairman of WGEO, said the initiative reflects the organisation’s strategic vision to lead the global shift towards a resilient green economy. He noted that Green Circles connects policy, investment and innovation, helping convert global trends into tangible progress while supporting the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at regional and international levels.

Al Tayer further emphasised that the platform strengthens cooperation between the public and private sectors by creating an interactive environment focused on action, knowledge exchange and partnership-driven solutions that accelerate the low-carbon transition.

As a core pillar of WGEO’s strategy, Green Circles is designed to enhance intellectual leadership and develop operational frameworks that move cross-sector commitments from dialogue to delivery. To date, the initiative has produced two white papers offering clear roadmaps and actionable recommendations for embedding sustainability into business practices.

WGEO has already hosted two Green Circles sessions with strategic partners. The first, organised in collaboration with the American Business Council in Dubai (AmCham), was held at DEWA’s Sustainability and Innovation Centre. The second took place in cooperation with Dubai Chambers during the World Green Economy Summit 2025. Both sessions convened government representatives, international organisations, business leaders and sustainability experts to explore responsible business practices and strengthen public-private collaboration.

The resulting white papers—Accelerating the Transition to Responsible Business and Enabling the Sustainability Ecosystem for Responsible Business—address key challenges in integrating sustainability into business models, while offering practical recommendations to drive innovation, enhance regulatory frameworks and stimulate sustainable investment.

Looking ahead, WGEO has invited governments, private sector organisations, academic institutions and international bodies to join as partners in future Green Circles sessions. By expanding this global platform, WGEO aims to foster joint solutions, deepen international cooperation and accelerate progress towards the UN SDGs, paving the way for a more prosperous and sustainable green future.
