ADSW Agenda from COP27

Over 120 world leaders and 35,000 delegates gathered in Sharm El-Shiekh, Egypt, for the COP27 climate summit in Nov 2022.

Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week (ADSW) was there in full force too.

As a global initiative championed by the UAE and its clean energy powerhouse Masdar, ADSW is dedicated to engaging impactful dialogue between global stakeholders on practical, pro-climate, pro-growth solutions for a net-zero future.

At COP27, ADSW held a comprehensive suite of events that convened policymakers, clean energy experts, women, young people, inventors, and business leaders.

Events included bringing young people from the UAE, Africa and Europe together to talk about how to boost youth resilience in the face of the climate crisis. Panel discussions between young female professionals, who had spent time in rural Rwanda, explored how to increase access to clean energy in villages. ADSW also hosted speakers who shared sustainability success stories and discussed how to scale up net-zero buildings.

Africa’s potential to become a global leader in green hydrogen was also highlighted in a landmark report published by ADSW and Masdar. The continent could capture 10 percent of the world’s green hydrogen market, helping to create 3.7 million jobs by 2050, the report found.

Following on from the success of its events at COP27, ADSW 2023 will keep the vital climate conversation going. ADSW 2023 runs from Jan 14 to 19.
