Under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Humaid Bin Rashid Al Nuaimi,
Member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of Ajman, and the Planning Department-Ajman, we are pleased to invite you to the Ajman 8th International Environment Conference (AIEC 2026)
From Commitment to Action:
Advancing Sustainability, Climate Resilience & Net Zero
Join us
For a ground-breaking two-day event, where global leaders, experts, and innovators will explore the future of sustainable smart cities. With an emphasis on cutting-edge technologies and forward-thinking strategies, this conference will set the stage for a greener, smarter, and more sustainable tomorrow.
The rapid growth of urban populations, combined with increasing demands for energy, infrastructure, and environmental sustainability, presents a unique set of challenges for cities worldwide. The concept of the “smart city” emerges as a transformative solution, integrating advanced technologies and sustainable practices to create urban spaces that are efficient, liveable, and environmentally responsible. However, building truly sustainable, climate-resilient cities requires more than just adopting new technologies; it demands an innovative approach to urban planning that integrates environmental, social, and economic considerations. This prestigious conference, in its 8th edition, promises to be a key platform for dialogue, knowledge exchange, and collaboration among thought leaders, decision-makers, and industry professionals from across the globe.
However, achieving truly sustainable and climate-resilient cities requires more than advanced technologies. It demands integrated urban planning, inclusive governance, and social participation to balance environmental, economic, and community priorities.
This means embedding climate adaptation and risk management into every aspect of planning, from infrastructure and water systems to energy, mobility, and waste management. Now in its 8th edition, AIEC 2026 continues to grow as a global hub for dialogue, knowledge exchange, and collaboration, bringing together scientists, decision-makers, and innovators to co-develop transformative solutions for a rapidly changing world. Through plenary discussions, technical workshops, and innovation showcases, the conference will cover key themes including climate adaptation and resilience, renewable energy transition, AI-driven environmental governance, circular economy, sustainable transport, and air-quality co-benefits.
Together, we will shape a global movement that transforms climate commitments into tangible action, accelerating the creation of resilient, low-carbon, and sustainable cities for generations to come.
Climate Adaptation and Nature-Based Urban Solutions
Innovative approaches to urban climate adaptation using nature-based solutions such as blue-green infrastructure, urban forests, coastal resilience systems, and ecosystem-based flood and heat mitigation.
Sustainable Urban Development and Low-Carbon Planning
Integrated strategies for designing low-carbon, resource-efficient, and inclusive cities through smart land-use planning, green mobility, transit-oriented development, and circular urban systems.
Advanced Integration of Green Infrastructure & Renewable Energy
Designing energy-smart cities through large-scale and decentralised integration of solar, wind, energy storage, smart grids, net-zero buildings, and positive-energy districts.
AI-Driven Environmental Governance for Net-Zero Cities
Harnessing artificial intelligence, digital twins, IoT, big data, and MRV systems for real-time environmental monitoring, emissions tracking, regulatory compliance, and evidence-based climate policy.
Climate Resilience, Risk Mitigation & Disaster-Ready Cities
Strengthening urban resilience against climate risks, including heatwaves, flooding, sea-level rise, and air-quality extremes, through early-warning systems, resilient infrastructure, and climate-informed urban governance.

The Ajman 8th International Environment Conference (AIEC 2026)
focuses on the pivotal role of cutting-edge technologies and forward-thinking strategies in shaping the cities of tomorrow. The conference will explore the scientific, technological, and policy-driven pathways toward achieving carbon-neutral, resource-efficient, and climate-resilient urban environments.
AIEC 2026 serves as a global platform to advance dialogue on how cities can transform commitments into real, measurable action through innovation, governance, investment, and collaboration.
As cities become more interconnected, the convergence of digital technologies with urban planning and environmental management offers new opportunities for creating holistic, sustainable solutions. The discussions and findings from AIEC2026 will provide a scientific foundation for policymakers, urban planners, and industry leaders to design and implement practical solutions for tomorrow’s sustainable smart cities.
This conference represents a critical milestone in Ajman’s and the UAE’s commitment to becoming global leaders in sustainability and environmental stewardship. Together, we will examine the science and technologies that will define the cities of the future and set the stage for an era of environmental innovation.
