New York - The Zayed Future Energy Prize and Masdar for Future Energy will participate in the United Nations Conference on Climate Change, which will start on November 30 in Paris, to shed light on issues of future energy and try to find innovative energy solutions.

Zayed Prize and Masdar will participate at COP21 in a debate on the role of women in the issue of climate change, as well as the challenges facing them. This will be part of the “Women’s Forum of Sustainability and Renewable Energy”, which was launched at the UN on the sidelines of the 70th Session of the General Assembly in September.

Dr Nawal Al Hosni, Director of the Zayed Future Energy Prize and Director of Sustainability at Masdar, said that women are the most affected as a result of the repercussions of climate change, although their role is still limited in this regard.

“The Zayed Prize and Masdar for Future Energy are initiatives through which the UAE is seeking to establish its stature globally in the field of sustainable development, and as such they will play a major role in the Paris Conference,” she said,
