The 11th World Green Economy Summit (WGES 2025) will take place on 1-2 October 2025 at the Dubai World Trade Centre. The event will be held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister, and Ruler of Dubai.

Organisers announced that the summit will run under the theme “Innovating for Impact: Accelerating the Future of the Green Economy.” It is organised by the Dubai Supreme Council of Energy, Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA), and the World Green Economy Organisation (WGEO).

WGES has established itself as a strategic platform for advancing climate action. It aims to empower societies that are vulnerable to the effects of climate change by offering practical solutions to enhance climate security.

The 2025 edition will explore how modern technologies can support developing societies. It will focus on improving their ability to cope with climate challenges.

The summit will highlight the role of Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies. This includes the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) to:

• optimise renewable energy integration
• improve predictive analytics and emissions monitoring

Energy storage solutions will also be discussed. In addition, the summit will address the importance of public-private collaboration in deploying green technologies.

DEWA MD and CEO, and Chairman of WGEO, Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, stated that holding WGES in Dubai reflects the UAE’s commitment to supporting global climate action. He noted the summit’s role in creating a space for discussing innovative technologies that can support the transition to a green economy.

Al Tayer reported that climate change continues to threaten developing nations, many of which lack the infrastructure needed to withstand extreme weather. He emphasised the importance of integrating efforts and using emerging technologies in an inclusive manner to ensure climate security.

He also highlighted that empowering communities with appropriate technologies is key. The summit will promote responsible innovation, enhance international cooperation, and help mobilise funding for practical climate solutions.

WGES 2025 will also advocate for the transfer of technology and knowledge to less-prepared countries. The summit will promote regulatory and legislative environments that support the adoption of emerging technologies in these regions.
