In order to satisfy the requirement of Estidama,which looks for achieving a new sustainable way

of life in the Arab world. engineers have to apply the Exterior Finishing and Insulation System
(EFIS). This was done by using either a new type of rocks or Rockwool. These Rockwools will
prevent the cold air and hot air from going outside or entering inside, respectively. They are
useful in case of fire too.
As a matter of fact, for the drywall that were connected with the corridors, we used Rockwool as
an isolated material to prevent the sound from going inside or outside

Environment Vision 2030 for the emirate of Abu Dhabi was developed to ensure integration
among the three pillars of sustainability: environmental, economic and social vision. It aims to
preserve and enhance Abu Dhabi's natural heritage in the efficient use of resources and
contributing to a better quality of life for all. Environment Vision 2030 identifies 5 priority areas.

Climate change is one of the most important environmental issues at the national and global levels, given its economic,
social and environmental impacts. This issue has received considerable and early attention in the UAE and the country has
exerted numerous efforts to address the effects of climate change and to adapt to its potential impacts on ecosystems and
economic sectors. In line of these efforts, the UAE has adopted important policies, including the economic diversification
policy, focusing on green economy, energy sources diversification policy, focusing on renewable and clean energy and
promoting energy efficiency, sustainable transport policy, sustainable urban planning, etc.
 
The Ministry of Climate Change and Environment, in collaboration with its partners in the public and private sectors, is
working to bolster efforts to deal with climate change, in terms of mitigation and adaptation, through the National Climate
Change Plan 2050, adopted by the Cabinet in June 2017, and the National Climate Change Adaptation Program, adopted at
the first annual meeting of the UAE Government in September 2017, in addition to other relevant policies and programs.
Objectives

Manage greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions while sustaining economic growth.

The UAE’s total GHG emissions are expected to continue rising in line with projected economic
and population growth. However, the Climate Plan aims to manage emissions, to ensure that
Climate action furthers the achievement of economic goals for the country while meeting its
climate change objectives by decoupling emissions from economic growth.

Increase climate resilience by minimizing risks and improving adaptive capacity.

Promoting a climate-resilient economy is a prerequisite for the UAE to realize the transformative
change outlined in the UAE Vision 2021. A systematic and scientific assessment of climate risks
and vulnerabilities is at the heart of the Climate Plan. It emphasizes the need to make the nation’s
economy and infrastructure “climate-proof”, protecting its people and ecosystems against
climate-related impacts.

Advance the UAE’s economic diversification agenda through innovative solutions.

As the UAE continues to invest in non-oil sectors with high growth potential, the Climate Plan
will facilitate a stronger growth momentum in key emerging sectors. This will be achieved by
deploying resource-efficient, innovative measures to generate high added value from the
emerging industries, encouraging job creations in green businesses, and leveraging ( ‫ )الفريجنج‬the
mutually reinforcing relationship between climate action and economic diversification.
Controlling emissions
The United Arab Emirates has engaged in the implementation of 14 projects for the purpose of
reducing the emissions of Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) under the umbrella of Clean Development
Mechanism (CDM) projects. In order to reduce its carbon footprint, the UAE monitors the
emission of gases that lead to the greenhouse effect and has reduced its per capita carbon
emissions. Due to better technology and transition to more natural gas in power plants, emissions
of carbon dioxide (CO2) per capita have decreased.
In 1990, the UAE emitted 32.6 tonnes of CO2 per person per year. In 2010, the figure dropped to
21.9 tonnes per person per year.

Cultivation) (E‫ كالتيفيشن‬technologies

To encounter the critical effects of climate change on the natural environmental ecosystems as
well as the water surfaces, the UAE's Ministry of Climate Change and Environment has
undertaken a technology of cultivation without soil in several agricultural projects.
This technology helps to control the internal domestic climate (temperature, humidity.

soil problems and type of soil

Reducing flaring of natural gas

The UAE is also committed to reducing emissions from flaring, which involves burning off
waste gas or oil during petroleum testing or production

Increasing energy efficiency

The UAE has launched several innovative programs to increase energy efficiency. In 2014,
Dubai launched the Smart City strategy, focusing on 1,000 government services and
development in 6 main areas including transportation, infrastructure, communications, financial
services, urban planning and electricity.

Sustainable transportation
Transportation is one of the fastest-growing sources of emissions worldwide. The UAE is
investing in new mass transit systems such as Dubai's light rail system and a proposed high-
speed train.

Environmental awards
The Government has adopted a number of local and international certificates of appreciation to
encourage environmental achievements.
These awards include

 Zayed International Prize for the Environment

 Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Prize for Government Excellence
 Zayed Future Energy Prize
 Emirates Energy Award
 Dubai Award for Sustainable Transport
 Emirates Appreciation Award for the Environment.
