Countess Elena De Bacci and Countessina Anna De Bacci attended the 2nd edition of the Future Sustainability Forum in Dubai, hosted by the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) at the prestigious Madinat Jumeirah in Dubai.
As a leading global financial hub committed to driving sustainability, DIFC has championed ESG principles and sustainable finance adoption in the UAE. The announcement of the 2nd edition of the Forum underscores this commitment, alongside initiatives such as the DIFC Sustainable Finance Catalyst which aims to grow sustainable finance flows from Dubai to USD 100+ billion by 2030.
“The DIFC organised Future Sustainability Forum is a vital platform for collaborative action towards a more sustainable future. As the global economic landscape evolves, so must our commitment to responsible and inclusive growth. At DIFC, we are proud to be convening this gathering of industry leaders, innovators, and policymakers to address the most pressing environmental and social challenges of our time. Together, we can forge new pathways to a more resilient and sustainable future for financial services and other important industries.”
– Alya Al Zarouni, Chief Operating Officer of DIFC Authority and Co-Chair of the Dubai Sustainable Finance Working Group
As DIFC reports, the event gathered over 3,000 industry leaders, tech disruptors, investors, government officials, and policymakers to accelerate climate action and advance the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 2030.
The Forum addressed critical sustainability issues across eight core pillars spanning different industries including banking and finance, construction, renewable and future energy, transportation and mobility, manufacturing and production, recycling and waste management, sustainable technology, and agriculture and food production.
In addition to the packed conference agenda that featured over 100 sustainability and climate action expert speakers, the Forum brought together the most innovative solutions and service providers from across the global sustainability landscape through the Climate Action & Renewable Energy Expo (CARE).
Dr Bernd van Linder, Chief Executive Officer of the Commercial Bank of Dubai, the presenting sponsor of the Forum, stated:
“Commercial Bank of Dubai is proud to support the UAE’s sustainability ambitions through our participation in the Future Sustainability Forum 2024 as Presenting Sponsor. Our proactive approach in addressing environmental challenges, exemplified by the successful issuance of CBD’s inaugural green bond, demonstrates our alignment with global environmental goals.”
Government entities in the UAE have spearheaded a range of comprehensive sustainability programmes in the pursuit of a net-zero future. Initiatives such as the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050, the UAE Net Zero 2050 strategic initiative, and the UAE Vision 2070, emphasise on a commitment to renewable energy adoption, water conservation, waste management, and sustainable urban development.
“We are honoured to be part of this global initiative that is set to change the course of the world’s future. The only way to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the delivery of the Paris Agreement is by bringing together the brightest experts and policymakers from across the globe, aligning vision and joining forces to turning that vision into reality. This is exactly what this forum provides, by serving as the premier platform for dialogue, innovation, and collaboration.
May God bless the organizers, sponsors and all participants of the forum, and especially, the UAE government for supporting this mission. We look forward to the next year’s edition of the Future Sustainability Forum in Dubai.”
– Countessina Anna De Bacci
