Her Excellency Mariam bint Mohammed Al-Mheiri, Cabinet Member and Minister of Climate Change and Environment, led the MOCCAE delegation, discussing the latest developments in the field of sustainability and climate change, and exploring ways to foster innovation in these areas.
Najla Al-Midfa, CEO of Sheraa, said: 'Welcoming the Emirates Municipal Environmental Council's first quarterly meeting at Sheraa reflects our dedication to driving innovation and sustainability in the region. Through our partnership with MOCCAE and the presentation of our sustainability startups' solutions, we aim to contribute to the UAE's efforts towards tackling climate change and promoting sustainable development.
