In anticipation of the upcoming CARE MENA event in Dubai on November 26-27, a significant pre-event titled CARE Dialogues recently brought together leading sustainability experts, environmental policymakers, and innovative minds in the UAE.

This gathering aimed to delve into various environmental, social, and governance (ESG) aspects that are crucial for the region. The assembly was held to pave the way for comprehensive discussions on sustainability challenges and opportunities that will be addressed more extensively during the main event at Madinat Jumeirah.

The convening partners for the Dialogues included notable names such as Supercool Mobility, Charging Interface Initiative (CharIN), and the Global Education Energy Environment Organisation. They collectively put a spotlight on essential themes like sustainability policies, financing for green projects, scalable eco-friendly solutions, advancements in mobility, and circular energy systems.

This includes everything from the generation and storage of renewable energy to its intelligent reuse and the overarching aim of achieving cross-sector energy transformation.

Naveen Bhardwaj, Group CEO of Trescon, highlighted the collective responsibility in driving climate action and advancing sustainability. He noted, "Our CARE series in Dubai, Riyadh, and New Delhi unite the government, industry, academia, solution providers, investors, ClimateTech start-ups, and the wider community, as driving climate action and making sustainability consciously happen is a collective responsibility."

Bhardwaj further explained the importance of focused group discussions during the Dialogues, stating, "Focused group discussions during our Dialogues give the sustainability community an opportunity to help shape the main event's agenda and make it fully outcome driven."

One of the participants, Neutral Fuels, a trailblazer in converting recycled cooking oil into biodiesel in the UAE, shared its vision for a greener future. Charles Gardner, the company's Chief Operations Officer, expressed pride in their contribution to sustainability, saying, "It's an honour to join the Care Dialogues and share how Neutral Fuels is shaping a sustainable future. By turning local waste cooking oil into biodiesel, we cut emissions and power the UAE's fleets, locomotives, power generators and more. Switch the fuel, shift the future."
