The Interregional Center for Strategic Analytics revealed that the UAE has established its global position as a milestone in the development of systems and strategies related to the green economy while becoming an international hub in supporting efforts to address climate change and develop realistic models to reduce its economic impact.

According to the center, the "Green National Agenda - 2030" constitutes a long-term plan to achieve sustainable development goals to achieve the most prominent expected benefits when switching to a green economy, as the "agenda" consists of 5 strategic goals: competitive knowledge economy, social development, quality of life, sustainable environment, value of natural resources, clean energy, adaptation to climate change, green life and sustainable use of resources. The agenda also works to implement and follow up on initiatives and projects to achieve the most prominent expected benefits when switching to a green economy, which is raising GDP by between 4% and 5%, increasing exports from AED 24 to AED 25 billion, and reducing emissions from the energy sector to less than 100 kilowatt-hours.
