The UAE University has launched the ‘Green Research Projects’ in order to fund and support research projects that focus on sustainability and climate change.
This move is in line with national and global efforts in finding innovative solutions to climate change, the UAE University’s roadmap to COP28 and beyond (2023-2026), and the historic UAE Climate consciences at the Conference of the Parties (COP28).
Prof. Ahmed Murad, Associate Provost for Research, said that, “Scientific research plays a vital role in identifying and understanding the effects of climate change and finding sustainable solutions. The UAE University supports and encourages researchers to make a positive impact that enhances the sustainability of our society and the entire world.”
Prof. Murad emphasized that “this initiative reflects the UAE University’s commitment to effectively contribute to protecting the environment and combating climate change. This step is strengthening the global efforts towards raising awareness on the importance of sustainability and promoting scientific research in areas that positively affect the environment and achieve sustainable development.”
Further, he pointed out that funding such projects would allow the researchers the opportunity to conduct projects that contribute to sustainable development and combat climate change in the United Arab Emirates and the world.
The Professor further added that “the UAE University will continue to strengthen its leadership in scientific research and innovation to achieve sustainable development and support national and global efforts to find innovative solutions to climate change.”
