Abu Dhabi: The World Future Energy Summit (WFES) this year will emphasize the vital role that sustainability plays in setting the direction for revolutionary energy futures. It is is being held at the ADNEC Centre in Abu Dhabi from April 16–18, 2024.
With the Summit returning to ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi, ADNEC Group has demonstrated its commitment to sustainability through its pledge to Net Zero Carbon Events, a promise that requires net zero carbon footprints from events by 2050 to create and support a greener future.

In committing to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045 by the Paris Agreement goals and the UAE’s carbon emission reduction strategy, ADNEC Group’s pledge puts it among the first major global entities to vow to achieve climate neutrality in the UAE. The Group has also set itself a target of securing a 50 percent reduction in emissions from its operations by 2030.
ADNEC Group’s strategic focus on sustainability reflects its commitment to supporting the UAE’s objectives and national strategies to achieve sustainable development. By tackling this challenge in line with the wise leadership’s vision, ADNEC Group are implementing and enabling innovative solutions to achieve a better future for the generations to come. Through sustainability efforts across all business sectors, the Group is also advancing non-oil economic development and diversification in the emirate of Abu Dhabi.
