Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Executive Council of Dubai, took to Twitter to announce details of the new strategy on Thursday.
The Crown Prince of Dubai chaired an Executive Council meeting at Dubai Expo 2020 on Thursday.

The strategy will include projects to manage waste and encourage innovation in converting it into energy. “We look forward to presenting a global model of sustainability from Dubai,” added Sheikh Hamdan.

During the first nine months of 2021, Dubai’s economy achieved a record growth of 6.3 per cent, said Sheikh Hamdan. “This was driven by our success in dealing with the pandemic and hosting the world at Expo 2020,” he tweeted.
