Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week (ADSW) 2025 will take place from January 12 to 18 in Abu Dhabi, hosted under the patronage of Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE. The event will bring together global leaders to discuss pathways for advancing sustainable development and socioeconomic progress.

The discussions will highlight the potential for a $10 trillion global economic transformation through sustainable innovations.
The event aims to create connections between policymakers, business leaders, and civil society to promote actionable strategies for sustainability. It will address global challenges by exploring how trends like the rise of emerging markets, the transformation of energy systems, and AI growth can drive socioeconomic and environmental improvements.
