We don\u2019t just talk; we act. We act under the guidance of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates, who has set forth a bright and visionary goal to achieve a net zero future by 2050 and to reduce carbon emissions by 40% by 2030. The UAE was the first country in the Middle East to announce a net zero goal. That is precisely why my partners and I chose to bring the Green Peak Festival to Abu Dhabi \u2014 there is truly no place more fitting for it.\u201d<br \/>\nElisabeth K\u00f6stinger, President of the GPF Global Council Europe, emphasized the importance of this expansion: \u201cAbu Dhabi was the ideal gateway for GPF Global to connect with the dynamism of the Middle East and Africa. Sustainability is a global challenge \u2013 and so must be our solutions. We were excited to build lasting bridges across continents, leveraging the UAE\u2019s strong commitment to innovation and climate leadership.\u201d<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-17599\" src=\"https:\/\/pardaisnewsdigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/2-19-225x300.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pardaisnewsdigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/2-19-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/pardaisnewsdigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/2-19-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pardaisnewsdigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/2-19-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/pardaisnewsdigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/2-19-150x200.jpg 150w, https:\/\/pardaisnewsdigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/2-19-450x600.jpg 450w, https:\/\/pardaisnewsdigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/2-19-1200x1600.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/pardaisnewsdigital.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/2-19.jpg 1400w\" alt=\"\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Strong partnerships driving global impact<br \/>\nThe GPF Global Abu Dhabi edition was made possible through close collaboration and a distinguished network of international partners, reflecting a shared commitment to cross-sector cooperation and sustainable growth \u2014 including DEWA, Magirus, Zhifu Technology, UAE Biotech Research Center, GTC Group, LGP Lawyers, Hengl, Econetix, Agro Innovation Lab, TRENDS Research &amp; Advisory, Austrian Embassy Abu Dhabi, TOJOY, Mohammed Alfahim Holding and Forbes.<br \/>\nTogether, these organizations formed a powerful alliance between Europe, the Middle East and Asia \u2013 united by a shared vision of innovation, economic transformation and environmental responsibility.<\/p>\n<p>Global dialogue on innovation and sustainability<br \/>\nGPF Global featured high-level government representatives, CEOs, and thought leaders from Europe, Africa, and the Gulf region.
