Abu Dhabi’s green ambitions

Abu Dhabi – the capital of the United Arab Emirates – is trying to reduce its dependence on oil exports by diversifiying its economy. Part of the emirate’s strategy is to become a leader in clean energy. The eco-city Masdar is one example which shows Abu Dhabi’s determination to become a greener place.

Abu Dhabi’s Aabar Investments PJSC bought a  9.1% stake of the German car maker Daimler last week. The cooperation between the emirate and the auto company should create jobs and accelerte the development of electric cars.
