Pollution and poorly planned expansion are some of the greatest problems facing the world today and for future generations. The Middle East has had remarkable growth and development over the last fifty years and while this growth has contributed positively to the region’s economy and quality of life, there is an increasing threat and the environment as man-made pollutants are being released in to the environment.
The U.A.E., however, is fortunate to have had in their midst a strong leader, with a strong will and vision for a greener and sustainable environment for the country and its people. This vision continues to develop with each of the Emirates actively pursuing initiatives for the conservation of the environment and its natural resources. As each Emirate has their unique issues there are different rules, procedures to comply with the increasing environmental requirements.
