Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa) and the World Green Economy Organisation (WGEO) will be organising the 7th World Green Economy Summit (WGES) from October on 6 to 7 at the Expo 2020 Dubai.

Announcing this, Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, Vice Chairman of the Dubai Supreme Council of Energy, and Chairman of WGES, said this year’s summit will be held in conjunction with the Water, Energy, Technology, and Environment Exhibition (Wetex) and Dubai Solar Show from October 5 to 7 at Expo 2020 Dubai. The 6th WGES in 2019 had attracted several local and global high-profile participation, including heads of states and governments, as well as many international prominent speakers, in addition to official dignitaries and representatives from government organisations, academia, experts and the media.

“Accelerating the shift towards a green economy requires concerted efforts. WGES is a major platform that supports international cooperation in addressing global challenges and promoting sustainable development,” remarked Al Tayer.

“The establishment of the Regional Cooperation Centre  for Mena, as well as the hosting of Regional Ministerial Conferences by WGEO on a green economy to enhance cooperation between the countries of the world, are testament of successful global efforts towards a sustainable future,” he added.
