The organizing committee of the 3rd Ajman International Environment Conference anticipates a significant turnout of thousands of visitors and participants from various parts of the world.
The conference will be held under the gracious patronage of His Highness Sheikh Humaid bin Rashid Al Nuaimi, a member of the Supreme Council and the Ruler of Ajman. The "Department of Municipalities and Planning in Ajman" had previously announced its preparations for organizing the third edition of the "Ajman International Environment Conference" over two consecutive days on April 7 and 8 at the Sheikh Zayed Conference and Exhibition Center within the campus of Ajman University of Science and Technology (AUST).

The third Ajman International Environment Conference and Exhibition will be launched under the slogan "Environmental Cities for Sustainable Development." It will feature the participation of numerous global and local experts specializing in environmental, water, and energy issues.

The Ajman International Environment Conference and Exhibition, scheduled to be held at the Sheikh Zayed Conferences and Exhibitions Center at Ajman University of Science and Technology in Ajman city, will focus this year on environmental cities. Environmental cities are built for a healthy and sustainable future, where there is a reduction in the required inputs for energy, water, food production, waste heat, air pollution (CO2), methane, and water pollution. Experts agree that sustainable development should meet present needs without sacrificing the ability of future generations to meet their own needs and strengthen itself with renewable energy sources. The primary goal of these cities is to form the smallest possible ecological footprint, produce the least amount of pollution, use land efficiently, use quality fertilizers, recycle or convert waste into energy, and thus contribute minimally to climate change when adopting such practices.

The significance of the conference lies in being a forum and scientific platform for all interested and specialists aiming to contribute to the development of environmental cities that enable the conservation of water and energy resources, sustainability in construction materials, efficiency in sustainable transportation systems, and the potential to make Ajman a green city by bringing together scientists and experts in this field.
