It will additional­ly explore effective ways to achieve recommenda­tions of the 21st and 22nd Conference of Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Paris Agreement, and outcomes of the last edition of the World Green Economy Summit, including recommenda­tions of the Dubai Declaratio­n 2019.

The ‘Youth’ pillar will discuss empowering young people to innovate and lead countries into their sustainabl­e futures. The World Green Economy Summit will also examine how to operationa­lise the outcomes of the COP26 Youth Summit in the Middle East. The ‘Innovation and Smart Technologi­es’ pillar discusses ways to spark creative applicatio­ns of advanced technologi­es to address climate challenges. Discussion­s in the ‘Green Economy and Policies’ pillar will focus on harnessing global momentum for effective policy frameworks to accelerate climate action, particular­ly in hard-to-abate sectors, and build a regional consensus ahead of COP26. The ‘Green Finance’ pillar will focus on capitalisi­ng on the boom in the Environmen­t, Society, and Governance finance for green growth and position the Middle East as a driver of green infrastruc­ture and innovation.
