CONSERVATION AND NATURE INITIATIVES:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Dubai\u2019s unique ecosystem has made for generations of sustainable conservations and a distinctive connection with nature. From Bedouin practices, to nature reserves and safaris, Dubai has long had a harmonious connection with its surroundings. Environmental protection is ingrained into the very DNA of Dubai\u2019s natural landscape and is something that continues to be enhanced and celebrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dubai Can Initiative<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai Crown Prince and Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai, launched \u2018Dubai Can\u2019, a citywide sustainability initiative to turn the tide on plastic and inspire mass action to actively reduce the use of single-use plastic bottles. There are currently 40 free drinking water fountains placed across the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dubai Integrated Energy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Dubai Supreme Council of Energy has formulated and launched the Dubai Integrated Energy Strategy 2030 in 2011, with the purpose of diversifying sources of energy and increase the clean energy share. Dubai aims to increase the share of clean energy to 29 per cent and the Emirate\u2019s energy demand by 30 per cent by 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
