DUBAI, October 19, 2016

Global and regional leaders in sustainability are set to take part in the upcoming EmiratesGBC Congress 2016, an independent forum aimed at conserving the environment by strengthening and promoting green building practices in Dubai, UAE.

 Hosted by Emirates Green Building Council (EmiratesGBC), the event runs on October 25 and 26 at Dusit Thani Hotel. It is being held under the theme ‘UAE of the Future: Looking Backward as a Way Forward.’

Saeed Al Abbar, chairman of EmiratesGBC, said: “The 5th EmiratesGBC Congress is once again underlining the thought leadership of the UAE in highlighting innovative approaches in sustainable development for the future. The theme and panel discussion sessions at the Congress have been tailored to present diverse perspectives that will assure deep insights to the participants.

“With experts from the region and across the world attending the Congress, it will serve as a referral point in the global discussions on promoting sustainable built environments. The participation of the eminent leaders in the field highlights the emergence of the Congress as a key global event that fosters dialogue and tangible action on our collective fight against environmental challenges in the built-environment.”

An annual gathering of experts, who represent diverse sectors of the sustainable built environment and related industries, the Congress will highlight how the nation’s success in green buildings can be leveraged to formulate a roadmap of the future in line with UAE Vision 2021 and the objectives of the Paris COP21 Climate Agreement.

The Congress will look at how the future of urban environments has been historically perceived and also unveil designs submitted by leading architecture firms to support the sustainable development vision of the UAE.
