Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) is organising WETEX and Dubai Solar Show 2023 under the directives of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, from 15 to 17 November 2023, at the Dubai World Trade Centre.
“WETEX and DSS enhance youth participation in global events. It empowers them with knowledge, opportunities, skills, and the necessary tools to foster their active contribution in achieving sustainable development and net zero and to become the next generation of sustainability leaders. The exhibition provides the youth with a platform to be heard and present their ideas and innovative solutions that support our climate ambitions. This holds special significance in the Year of Sustainability in the UAE, during which the country is hosting COP28 at Expo City Dubai from 30 November to 12 December 2023. The conference will provide substantial space for youth climate work,”
