The Zayed Sustainability Prizes Announces Postponement of 2021 Awards Ceremony

The Zayed Sustainability Prize, the UAE's pioneering international award in sustainability, has declared the delay of the 2021 Awards Ceremony, which was meant to take place in January, as part of the yearly Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week (ADSW).

Entities that have presented their attention this year will be automatically transferred to the 2022 cycle. The choice was due to restrictions for different countries and to guarantee international participants safety and well-being in light of the unique global challenges created by the coronavirus pandemic.

H.E Dr Sultan bin Ahmed Al Jaber, UAE Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology and Director-General of the Zayed Sustainability Prize stated: After careful deliberation, we took the sound choice to postpone the 2021 Zayed Sustainability Prize event while assuring that all those who presented for the Prize will be counted in the 2022 cycle.

H.E Al Jaber added, The Prize, sparked by the UAEs founding father, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, and driven by the countrys leadership, repeats its steadfast commitment to humanitarianism and sustainable growth goals, as it has impacted more than 335 million people, to date.

We are also extending to focus on stimulating the UAE-driven 20by20 initiative which is established by the Prize in conjunction with several articles by donating past finalists and winners solutions to vulnerable communities around the world to improve their quality of life.
