The UAE’s hosting of the Expo 2020 Dubai will embody its long-term efforts to create solutions that will help achieve environmental sustainability.
The international exhibition will showcase the latest innovations, especially those related to renewable energy, water, recycling and green spaces, potentially making it the most sustainable edition in the event’s 160-year history.
Expo aims to be the most successful in terms of reducing its carbon footprint, through minimising its greenhouse gas emissions.
Expo organisers intend to generate 50 percent of its energy requirements from renewable and environmentally- friendly sources.
The exhibition’s site will feature a nursery with an area of 220,000-square metres, which will contain many plants and trees. It will also aim to reuse or recycle 85% of waste from landfills and convert into fertilisers.
