On 7 December 2015, Vice chair of Dubai Supreme Council of Energy (DSCE) H.E. Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer launched the State of Green Economy Report 2016 in the World Climate Summit 2015 in Paris. The launch was in the presence of Ólafur Ragnar Grímsson, President of Iceland, and Dr Sultan Al Jaber, UAE Minister of State and Special Envoy for Energy and Climate Change.
The report provides an overview of initiatives that promote innovation and policy tools that help accelerate the process. It serves as a roadmap to establish new, impact-based and market-driven paradigms to decarbonise power sector and stimulate the market for energy efficiency.
Al Tayer said: “This report is the first knowledge product which was developed to collate best practices that will contribute to knowledge sharing for the global good. The subjects in this report are likely to be discussed at the World Green Economy Summit (WGES) on the 5th and 6th of October 2016 as well as at the Water, Energy Technology and Environment Exhibition (WETEX 2016) on the 4th to the 6th of October in Dubai.”
