Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has revealed the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Emirates Marine Environmental Group (EMEG), to enhance cooperation between the two parties, especially issues covering climate change and energy. Under the agreement, both DEWA and EMEG have affirmed their commitment to develop and implement initiatives and programmes designed to facilitate a smooth exchange of knowledge and to increase key awareness on environmental issues, sustainability and climate change through awareness programmes, capacity building and biodiversity conservation activities for the local community.
The MoU was signed by Waleed Salman, Executive Vice President of Business Development and Excellence, on behalf of HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA, and Major Ali Saqr Sultan Al Suwaidi, President of Emirates Marine Environmental Group (EMEG), during the 19th Water, Energy, Technology, and Environment Exhibition (WETEX 2017). Organised by DEWA, WETEX is taking place at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre (DICEC).
“At DEWA, we seek to strengthen cooperation and ties with various relevant institutions to help raise the level of environmental awareness among individuals and groups of society, which in turn can improve and enhance patterns of behaviour towards our environmental resources, where we can further instil the idea of environmental preservation into all of our operations and strategies. Rest assured that DEWA spares no effort in its move to reduce the carbon footprint of Dubai to achieve the sustainability of our natural resources and to ensure a healthy, bright future for generations to come,” said Al Tayer.
The MoU will cover significant areas of cooperation between DEWA and EMEG. This includes the creation of biodiversity conservation activities and programmes, the launch of volunteer-based initiatives in support of the vision and objectives of DEWA, participation in various joint environmental and heritage programmes, joint projects in the field of sustainability, and efforts to reduce the environmental footprint along with other programmes.
