Abu Dhabi has stepped into a new era of environmental governance with the launch of the Abu Dhabi State of Environment Portal (ADSOEP) at COP30 in Brazil. More than a digital platform, it marks a fundamental shift in how societies understand, track and respond to environmental change.

Powered by AI and advanced analytics, the portal automates the analysis of sensor data, field research and environmental indicators to generate instant insights—bringing unprecedented speed, clarity and transparency to decision-making.

Putting People and Planet at the Centre

For the Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi (EAD), the portal is not merely a technological upgrade, but a commitment to improving the quality of life for communities today and safeguarding ecosystems for the generations to follow.

As Secretary General Dr. Shaikha Salem Al Dhaheri reflects, the platform embodies Abu Dhabi’s ethos: innovation with purpose. Real-time data, processed through AI, now becomes a tool for proactive action—helping protect natural heritage while amplifying the emirate’s leadership in global sustainability.

From Thousands of Indicators to Clear, Actionable Intelligence

The foundation for this breakthrough was laid in February 2025 with Abu Dhabi’s State of Environment Report, a comprehensive dataset spanning more than 1,000 indicators across air, land, biodiversity and water resources.

Traditionally, compiling such knowledge demanded extensive time, manpower and costs. ADSOEP changes that dynamic entirely. As explained by Ahmed Baharoon, Executive Director at EAD, the platform turns what once felt overwhelming into precise, accessible intelligence—bringing agility to environmental monitoring and enabling faster responses to emerging challenges.

AI That Clarifies, Predicts and Empowers

Developed with strategic partners e& enterprise and Accord Business Group (ABG), the portal incorporates features designed for accuracy, transparency and efficiency. Automated KPIs ensure consistent, timely updates. Smart, AI-driven content generation accelerates reporting.

Expert review safeguards credibility. And intuitive dashboards powered by LLMs, NLP and predictive models help decision-makers interpret trends with ease. It is not only an environmental tool—it is a governance model the world can learn from.

Innovation Strengthened Through Partnerships

e& enterprise CEO Khaled Murshid highlights the platform as a global milestone—an example of how digital innovation can reshape environmental stewardship. For ABG CEO Marcel Yammine, it represents more than a technological achievement; it is a turning point in accessibility and impact.

By blending AI with human expertise, the platform strengthens the bridge between data and meaningful action, supporting long-term sustainability for Abu Dhabi, the UAE and the wider region.

A Global Voice for Sustainable Technology

EAD plans to showcase this initiative across international forums, reinforcing Abu Dhabi’s position as a leader in sustainability-led innovation.

With ADSOEP, Abu Dhabi is not just responding to environmental challenges—it is reshaping the global conversation on how societies can harness technology to build a more resilient, informed and hopeful future.
