    Amna Al Dahak: Enhancing the biodiversity is key to restoring Mother Nature and achieving sustainable development in the UAE

    Her Excellency Dr. Amna bint Abdullah Al Dahak, Minister of Climate Change and Environment, underscored the pivotal role of enhancing the biodiversity in the restoration of Mother Nature and natural ecosystems of the planet. This strengthens the role of the UAE’s initiatives in combating climate change through nature-based solutions, environmental conservation, and fostering sustainable development across all sectors.

    Her Excellency said: “This year’s International Day for Biological Diversity is being marked under the theme ‘Be Part of the Plan,’ inviting all stakeholders to join hands in curbing biodiversity loss. This theme resonates with the UAE’s approach of involving all relevant entities including the private sector in exerting concerted efforts and empowering every member of society to become a part of the action. This, in turn, would drive transformation, and steer the course towards reconnecting with the nurturing embrace of our natural heritage, shaping both our present and the future.”

    Her Excellency emphasised: “Nature stands as the primary defence line for achieving economic and social development in the UAE and globally. Its profound significance lies in preserving natural resources, maintaining environmental equilibrium, and addressing the impacts of climate change. Biodiversity loss poses a genuine threat to humanity and our planet. The world has witnessed a staggering 69% decline in wildlife populations over the past fifty years, primarily due to deforestation and desertification. Human activities have altered more than 70% of non-ice-covered land on Earth, endangering further loss of wildlife and pushing more species towards extinction.”

    Her Excellency elaborated: “Promoting biodiversity stands as a paramount priority for the UAE, with the nation embracing 49 protected areas, teeming with biodiversity and endangered species. Moreover, the UAE places special emphasis on expanding mangrove forests for their crucial role as natural carbon reservoirs and their contribution to safeguarding coastal ecosystems. This commitment is exemplified through the UAE’s pledge to plant 100 million mangroves by 2030, underscoring the nation’s dedication to combating climate change using nature-based solutions and enhancing biodiversity.”

    Her Excellency concluded: “Biodiversity took centrestage in the COP28 agenda, culminating in the historic UAE Consensus that underscored the pivotal role of nature and natural ecosystems in the global strategy to address climate change. This was reflected in the response of the COP28, emphasising the importance of integrating nature and biodiversity in addressing climate challenges. Additionally, COP28 endorsed the ‘Joint Statement on Climate, Nature and People,’ garnering support from 18 countries and leading to 11 biodiversity partnerships. Financial contributions during the significant event reached $2.6 billion towards nature conservation.”
