GGGI is supporting the UAE to address environmental challenges in a balanced approach that takes into account the needs of development, this includes helping the government strengthen the resilience of its economy against fluctuations in the global hydrocarbon market, and to further reduce oil-based growth and prioritize economic diversification. GGGI has partnered with key UAE ministries to implement the Green Growth Initiative project, which is:
- Supporting the development of the Nation Green Growth Strategy (NGGS)
- Strengthening economic diversification into green technologies and industries as new growth engines
The project objectives are to support the UAE’s economic diversification and transition to green growth through the development and implementation of the National Green Growth Strategy and to facilitate the implementation of the NGGS as the framework for integrated, cross-sectoral green growth for all the seven emirates to be aligned under.
