DUBAI, 3rd August, 2017 (WAM) -- In collaboration with Mohammed bin Rashid School of Government, MBRSG, the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority, DEWA, has presented a case study on its achievements to university students and specialists in public policies and strategies.

This case study will be available in three full chapters of the UAE Public Policy Perspectives book, which was recently launched by MBRSG, to highlight the UAE's pioneering experience in many strategic areas. The book will be taught at the school as part of its curriculum.

Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD and CEO of DEWA, expressed his pleasure in cooperating with Mohammed bin Rashid School, as an educational institution, specialising in public policy in the Arab world. The book documents the mechanisms and frameworks for public policy in the UAE in a number of key development sectors. These policies that have been adopted by the wise government under the leadership of President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan; and Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum; as well as His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, have attracted worldwide attention due to their adoption of innovation and creativity as key pillars in all areas of government action in the state.

"Future generations should be made acquainted with the government's efforts in the field of comprehensive sustainable development, as this government was early to realise the importance of balancing development and the environment, in order to preserve the right of future generations to enjoy a clean, healthy and safe environment. Therefore, it launched policies, initiatives and programmes to achieve this, including the UAE Vision 2021, Dubai Plan 2021 and Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050, which aims to transform the emirate into a global hub for clean energy and green economy, as well as the Carbon Abatement Strategy, which aims to reduce carbon emissions to 16 percent by 2021," he noted.

The UAE Public Policy Perspectives book provides an overview of the development of Dubai, and the global and strategic decisions taken by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, to create one of the most accessible and competitive cities in the world. In addition, the book reviews the future vision of the UAE, and its high level of competitiveness in foreign markets, as well as in trade and entrepreneurship, while focusing on seven vital sectors: renewable energy, transport, education, health, technology, water and space.
