In a move to fortify climate and environmental
sustainability goals, the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment has signed
a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the TRENDS Research and Advisory. The
MoU establishes a platform for joint research cooperation between the two
entities and is primarily aimed at fostering areas of shared interest,
bolstering original research rooted in concrete evidence and facts, with the
intent to generate significant benefits and services for the community.
His Excellency Mohammed Al Nuaimi, Acting Undersecretary of the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment, and His Excellency Dr. Mohammed Abdullah Al-Ali, CEO of TRENDS Research and Advisory, signed the agreement at the Ministry's headquarters in Dubai.

country and contributing to the UAE's fulfilment of its climate and
environmental commitments, significantly reducing carbon emissions and
achieving climate neutrality goals by 2050, in addition to enhancing biological
diversity and national food security.
He said: "Research represents one of the
most important solutions to understand the challenges and opportunities and
what climate and environmental policies and laws can do to achieve our
strategic goals. During the year of sustainability and the UAE's approaching
