PROJECT OVERVIEW
The State of Energy Report and the State of Green
Economy Report are collaborative platforms to enable
a knowledge economy that would spur growth of
sustainable economic development. Both reports are
developed and executed with the support of the United
Nations Development Programme (UNDP), in particular
with the UAE country office around the UNDP Resident
Representative and the US-based Energy and Climate
team. As multi-stakeholder publications, they capture the
replicable and scalable success stories in the UAE aiming
to serve as a model for across the Arab States.
In thematic chapters, governmental entities and selected
private companies present a comprehensive overview
and outlook. The State of Energy report features areas
including energy legislation, clean and renewable energy,
energy efficiency and demand side management,
transport and mobility and climate change. The Green
Economy report has a stronger private sector focus and
covers areas including smart cities and living, lifestyle and
consumer choices, tourism, and finance and investments.
Experts and entity representatives, serving as a focal point
for further questions from the reader, author the articles.
The annual report is shared with the public as softcopy for
download and in a printed format as magazines through
conferences, events and the UN network. Dubai Carbon
and UNDP will extend the concept across the GCC from
2015 onwards.
