Leveraging its diversified portfolio, Dubai Holding and its companies, will host a series of events and inspiring presentations during the 13 days of the annual meeting to showcase sustainable technologies, drive meaningful conversations and help develop impactful long-term solutions that support the global climate agenda.

Responsible environmental stewardship lies at the core of our business, and our net zero pledge signifies our commitment to the UAE leadership's Net Zero 2050 initiative and our intent to continue building resilient businesses that safeguard a sustainable future for all.”
