Al Tayer, also the Chairman of the WGES added, "WGES also supports the efforts of the UAE to host the 28th Conference of the Parties by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP28) at the Dubai Expo City in 2023."
“It is also important to rethink the transport sector and reduce waste as well as strengthen collaboration between societies and individuals to build a sustainable future, and find sustainable solutions for challenges that concern the world," said Al Tayer.
WGES will bring together intellectuals, government institutions, and major corporates as well as leaders of sustainability funding from around the world.
This is to exchange best practices and explore the green and fair economy theoretically and practically. WGES will engage all society members and empower youth to play an influential role in creating a sustainable future.
