Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week (ADSW) 2026 is currently taking place as one of the world’s leading platforms for sustainability, convening global leaders, policymakers, innovators, and investors from January 11 to 15, 2026 in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. Hosted across key venues, including the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC), the event once again positions the UAE at the forefront of international climate, energy, and sustainability dialogue.
Organised by Masdar, Abu Dhabi’s clean energy leader, ADSW continues to serve as a powerful catalyst for collaboration, supporting the global transition toward a more sustainable and resilient future.
The week commenced with two high-level, closed-door forums — the IRENA Assembly (January 11–12) and the Global Climate Finance Annual Meeting (January 12) — laying a strong foundation for international cooperation and investment in clean energy and climate initiatives. The Opening Ceremony, scheduled for January 13 at ADNEC, will feature a keynote by H.E. Dr. Sultan Al Jaber, UAE Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology, alongside the Zayed Sustainability Prize Awards, which honour innovative sustainability solutions from across the world.
From January 13 onwards, ADSW’s public programme and flagship ADSW Summit will bring together heads of state, ministers, CEOs, and sustainability experts to explore innovation, climate finance, and scalable solutions. Running in parallel, the World Future Energy Summit is showcasing over 800 global brands, the Greenhouse start-up zone, the Fuse AI cleantech pavilion, and the debut of the Greenpeace Cinema, spotlighting environmental storytelling and clean-technology innovation.
With its strong emphasis on policy, technology, and investment, ADSW 2026 is already driving key global conversations, reinforcing Abu Dhabi’s standing as a major hub for sustainability and the international MICE industry.
