The announcement coincided with National Environment Day, during which UAE President Sheikh Mohamed reaffirmed the country’s commitment to international climate action.
As part of its broader efforts to enhance the city’s livability, Dubai has ramped up environmental initiatives, including the planting of over 216,500 trees in 2024—an increase of 17 percent compared to the previous year.
The Dubai Quality of Life Strategy 2033 also includes plans to develop over 200 new parks, expand cycling tracks by 300 percent, and extend night swimming beaches by 60 percent. Additionally, a new women-only beach will be introduced.
