Emirates Nature is a UAE environmental non-governmental organization, established under the patronage of HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Ruler’s representative in the Western Region and Chairman of Environmental Agency - Abu Dhabi (EAD).

We work in association with WWF (hereafter EN-WWF), one of the world’s largest and most respected independent conservation organizations. EN-WWF has been active in the UAE since 2001 and has successfully initiated and implemented several conservation and education projects and initiatives in the region.

EN-WWF works federally and in the region with offices in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Fujairah and is governed by a local board of directors.

It is our organizational objective to ensure a high performing workforce within our offices with highly efficient, skilled members all of whom will be unilaterally focused on supporting and delivering conservation activities within the UAE and our stakeholders.
The organization is functional by a Ministerial Decree as a ‘society’ institutionalized by the Ministry of Community Development, a federal governmental entity that resides within the UAE. In as such, this organization’s operational laws and workings coincides with that as a governmental institution that falls within any Abu Dhabi Government’s entities.

Context of the Role

The UAE has been confirmed as the host of COP28 at Expo City Dubai from 30 November - 12 December, 2023. COP meets once a year and attracts thousands of multi-stakeholder groups to take action and limit global warming to 1.5 degrees C. COP28 is set to elevate the UAE to one of the most relevant global players in climate action, and the nation sees it as an opportunity to promote its own political and diplomatic leadership and policy priorities.

The conference has already brought climate and nature to the forefront of conversations in the UAE, sparking conversations, innovation and action amongst the private sector, civil society, schools and academia and amongst the youth in the UAE. Furthermore, President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan has announced that 2023 will be the “Year of Sustainability”.

There is tremendous interest and appetite to act for nature in the UAE right now. We believe there is an opportunity for the region to adopt a larger role in global climate action and that this conference can be that tipping point for greater advocacy, investment and commitments to reverse biodiversity loss and secure great climate action.
