Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week (ADSW) is one of the largest sustainability gathering in the world. Held each January, ADSW is dedicated to furthering our understanding of the major social, economic and technological trends shaping the world’s sustainable development, and to empowering the global community to realise viable and effective strategies to mitigate climate change and address the sustainability challenges of the future.
The partnership that we have established between the United States and Abu Dhabi around renewable energy and climate change and sustainable development that takes advantage of human capital, is one of the most important partnerships for the future that we could be pursuing.

Abu Dhabi’s bold vision for sustainable energy is transforming this nation and inspiring our region. No one can predict the future, but this much is true: Energy requirements will play a vital role in determining it.

Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week is a testament to the commitment of the United Arab Emirates to sustainable development and a new diversified, low carbon economy. Similar to how Mexico is leading the way as a developing country, the UAE was in fact the first country in the Middle East to set renewable energy targets at a time when there was widespread doubt about renewable energy’s viability and value.

President of Mexico
