The theme for World Wetlands Day 2018, “Wetlands for a Sustainable Urban Future,” which highlights the role of urban wetlands for a sustainable future complements the year as UAE will host the 13th Meeting of the Conference of the Contracting Parties to the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands (COP 13), sponsored by Dubai Municipality.

Eng. Alya Al Harmoudi, Director of Environment Department, stressed the significance of the theme as it affirms Dubai Municipality’s vision towards developing a happy and sustainable city. “Sustainable development is at the core of Dubai Municipality’s vision as it enables the residents of Dubai to live a happy and healthy life,” she said.
