في إكسبو 2020 دبي، الاستدامة ليست مجرد كلمة عابرة، بل هدف أساسي نسعى إلى تحقيقه كل يوم، وهو ما نلمسه في تيرّا – جناح الاستدامة. فبالإضافة إلى كونه مثالا على المعارض التي تغمر الحواس، يُعد مبنى تيرّا مساحة مبتكَرة في مجال المباني الصديقة للبيئة القادرة على تحقيق الاكتفاء الذاتي، فمظلة الطاقة الشمسية للجناح التي يبلغ عرضها 130 مترا، تعمل على تحويل الطاقة الشمسية إلى كهرباء تُستخدم في المعارض المُقامة أسفل المظلة. هنا في تيرّا نرسم خط سيرنا نحو بناء مستقبل مستدام، فمن أساليب التحكم في الإضاءة الطبيعية والنباتات المحلية المزدهرة إلى التقنيات المتطورة القادرة على تقليل استهلاك المياه بنسبة 75 في المئة، يصبح طريقنا نحو مستقبل مستدام واضحا وممكنا.

حوار حول تغير المناخ وآليات تأسيس بنية تحتية مستدامة - الجزء الثاني

Energy generation accounts for a large percentage of greenhouse gas emissions, but also holds answers for achieving a sustainable future.

Access to affordable energy is a basic requirement for development in today’s world. Today while some 770 million people lack access to electricity, energy generation is one of the largest contributors to global emissions.

Renewable energy currently represents close to 30 percent of total electricity supply worldwide. And some studies indicate solar and wind energy could entirely replace fossil fuels by 2050. However, technical, economic and policy challenges continue to exist, slowing down progress, when we indeed might need to accelerate it. 

With climate change topping global political agendas, and the world’s commitment to limiting the planet’s warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius in the balance, the focus on transforming how we produce and use energy is as important as ever.

Fuelling a Sustainable World in 2030

Global Access

This World Majlis convenes thought leaders, visionaries and changemakers to focus on how the world can achieve a sustainable future by transforming the way we produce and use energy.

Capped by a digitally enhanced “cumulus cloud” that provides shade in the daytime and a canvas for dazzling light displays at night, the Australia Pavilion is a vibrant showcase for the kind of imagination Australians like to call “Blue Sky Dreaming”.

Inside and out, the focus here is on Australian innovation. From the ancient astronomy of the Aboriginal peoples, which you can learn about through an immersive projection show on the pavilion’s interior dome, to the sustainably produced timber that forms the pavilion’s hill-shaped exterior, there’s no shortage of blue-sky ideas here to explore.

World Majlis

Conversations on complex issues that bring together thought leaders, visionaries and changemakers.

This event aims to create awareness around the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and highlight the need for increased commitments to deliver on the promise of the Decade of Action. Only through partnerships, locally, regionally and globally will we be able to achieve the Global Goals.

Here, we will celebrate how far we have come and the progress that has been made so far, whilst observing areas where progress has stalled or, in some cases, regressed due to the pandemic. The Goals hold the solutions needed to help the world recover better from COVID and we will explore and highlight the role innovation, businesses and governments have to play in accelerating progress and advancing the Global Goals in the coming decade.

Get a broad overview of the Goals and take a deeper dive into some of the most urgent and prominent issues the world is currently facing on a global scale, including Gender Inequality and the Climate Crisis. We will hear from key voices on these issues, and discuss the facts and solutions around them so as to inspire action.

Inspired by British physicist Stephen Hawking, who challenged humanity to ponder how we might express ourselves to alien civilisations, the UK Pavilion invites visitors to contribute to a unique linguistic experiment. While exploring this cone-shaped structure, which showcases the UK’s contributions to space science and artificial intelligence, you can add your own words to the pavilion’s neural network. A language-generating algorithm then processes these entries into an ever-changing “poem” that will be displayed on the pavilion’s LED façade, providing an inspiring collective message to Expo 2020, our planet and maybe even worlds beyond.

The awe-inspiring UK Pavilion is an epic, 20-metre-tall, cone-shaped structure compiled of rows of horizontal timber slats that stretch forward to create a circular form. The end of each slat houses a LED panel that emits phrases that link to form an ever-changing interstellar message crafted by artificial intelligence and Expo visitors.
