In January 2015, the UAE Cabinet approved the UAE Green Agenda 2015-2030 as an overarching framework of Green Economy actions. The Green Agenda consists of 5 Strategic Objectives (Competitive Knowledge Economy, Social Development & Quality of life, Sustainable Environment & Valued Natural Resources, Clean Energy & Climate Action and Green Life & Sustainable Use of Resources). It has 12 main programs and 31 sub-programs. The Emirates Green Development Council, formed in June 2015, coordinates and monitors the implementation of the Green Agenda.
