UAE Focuses on Education to Advance Renewable Energy and Sustainable Tech

In response to global changes in politics, business, and academics, the United Arab Emirates has introduced a Transforming Education Summit  to enhance the involvement in their Zayed Future Energy Prize. The focus is globally advancing renewable energy and sustainable technologies.

The Global High Schools Prize, a new addition to the Zayed Future Energy Prize, awards high schools that hold a program to implement the most effective means of raising awareness towards sustainability and lowering an environmental footprint. The award is $100,000, divided by five schools in total, one school in the Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa and Oceania.

“The UAE leadership has placed a great emphasis on the importance of investing in human capital for our future prosperity. Through the collaboration between the Abu Dhabi Education Council and the Zayed Future Energy Prize, we are collectively leveraging on our respective strengths for the benefit of realizing the vision of our wise and forward thinking leadership,” said the Director General of the Zayed Future Energy Prize.
