By: The Surpluss As the world gathers in the UAE for COP28, The Surpluss is aiming to spearhead the transformational potential of circular economy and industrial symbiosis as key drivers of sustainable solutions with the support of its partners industry, RAK Research & Innovation Center (RAKRIC) and knowledge partners, SEE Institute. Opening the event is His Excellency Dr. Abdullah Belhaif Al Nuami, Former Minister of Climate Change and Environment, UAE, who commented: "As the keynote speaker of the first industrial symbiosis symposium in the UAE, I will highlight the role of technology and its related processes in tackling climate change. To keep the global temperature rise below 1.5°C, we need to slash 30 Gt of greenhouse gas emissions annually by 2030. This cannot be achieved by focusing only on transport and industry. We also need to manage our land and resources more efficiently. This symposium is a great platform to translate our words into concrete actions that improve energy efficiency and address other urgent issues." Bringing together global thought leaders and industry professionals from both private and public sectors, Dr Simon Miller, Government Regulatory Research and Impact Specialist at Abu Dhabi Quality and Conformity Council, highlighted: Sharing her aims for the event, The Surpluss founder Rana Hajirasouli explained: "Industrial symbiosis has historically been shown as a strong model of sustainability, which has high potential for the UAE and broader GCC due to co-located businesses. It provides a means for organisations to engage in circular business models by sharing surplus resources to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions whilst driving profits, boosting green job growth and innovation. The key here is to put good intentions into practice through structured collaborations and digitisation to demonstrate how we can all play our role in making sustainability our business, which will provide an ideal case study for inclusive sustainable development, globally." https://www.thesurpluss.com End
