Event Details

AmCham Abu Dhabi and AmCham Dubai, in association with our partner APCO Worldwide, are hosting a 45-minute learning session to demystify climate change for decision-makers in the UAE. This webinar is for c-suite executives, executive directors, and high-level decision makers. The session will make complicated climate concepts easier to understand, and most importantly, how your organization can create an impact on your customers, employees, and external stakeholders.


Learning Outcomes:

  • The opportunity in linking your organization to Climate Agenda
  • Understand the reasons why governments are under pressure to make a difference
  • Understand which actors are stakeholders in the governmental Climate agenda
  • Things that you can do to make a difference immediately and in the long term


If you had not had the time to figure out how to engage with climate solutions, this is the perfect opportunity to get up to speed. Your role as a leader is perhaps the most catalyzing of them all – and your organization's actions matter more. The world is watching the executive suite to see how they're going to solve this crisis, so make sure you have the right tools.
