In February 1968, this nation's founding fathers met under a desert tent and shared an idea that would turn into something truly great: the United Arab Emirates. Animated by this spirit of collaboration, The Good Place by Expo Live is an exhibition space dedicated to showcasing human potential and those who work to advance it – through the Expo Live innovation and partnership programme and beyond.

With a design inspired by the tent where the UAE was conceived, the pavilion showcases social innovations conceived to improve our lives. Come and meet ordinary people doing extraordinary things – and be inspired to join our global community.

Designed by renowned Emirati architect Ahmad Abdulrahman Bukhash, The Good Place’s structure expands the Bedouin tent shape into an elegant white canopy, folded with seven origami-like angles on each side to join at a tall peak. The tent seems to float over a clean, glass box.

From farm to plate, the food value chain is an integral part of society, providing income and livelihoods for billions. The ways in which we currently cultivate food by means of deforestation and food waste however, are all contributing adversely to climate change. Expo will serve as a platform to bring together all stakeholders in various value chains to spotlight localized solutions to food, nutrition and farming challenges. The programme will explore food sustainably, climate-friendly agriculture and other practices that work in harmony with the environment.

At Expo 2020, sustainability is an urgent, attainable reality, and Terra – The Sustainability Pavilion is the proof. Both immersive exhibition space and exemplar of environmental self-sufficiency, Terra is a pioneering piece of architecture that pushes the limits of renewable design.

The pavilion’s 130-metre-wide solar canopy – so vast that you could park 10 city buses head-to-tail atop it – converts sunshine into electricity for the exhibits below. Artfully funnelled natural light and local plant species, together with technologies that can reduce water consumption by 75 per cent, show the way to a sustainable future.

Terra is a super-sized marvel of forward-thinking design. The pavilion’s technology generates enough energy in a year to power a Nissan Leaf to drive halfway to Mars, while another system captures moisture from the air you breathe and turns it into drinkable water. Enter and take a fantastical journey through the wonders of nature, humanity’s challenges and the promise of our shared future.

More than 100,000 years ago, it’s believed that the first modern humans set out into the wider world from Ethiopia. The Ethiopia Pavilion takes you on an enthralling, aeons-spanning tour of the nation’s history and culture, from humanity’s beginnings to the vibrant modern day.

Your Ethiopian journey begins – as mankind’s did – in a dim cave. Explore prehistoric development and meet a replica of Lucy, the famed 3.2-million-year-old ape-like skeleton found in Ethiopia’s Awash Valley. Emerge into a bright modern factory to learn about the country’s manufacturing successes, before enjoying a classic Ethiopian coffee ceremony.

Changing what and how we eat can benefit both ourselves and our planet.

We all have up to 100 trillion cells in our bodies, each one demanding nutrients to function. Food affects all of these cells, and by extension, every aspect of our being: mood, energy levels, thinking capacity and sleeping habits.

Recent research has shown that the brain and the gut are intimately connected. A person’s stomach can be the cause as well as the product of anxiety and stress. What we eat has changed the planet. Forests have been devastated to rear cattle and grow crops, while the oceans become barren as they are trawled and over-fished. Food production does not only contribute to climate change, it is also the greatest single driver of wildlife loss.

As more meat is eaten across the planet, greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture and food production – which already account for about a third of the overall total – could rise by as much as 80 percent between now and 2050.

Next Gen World Majlis: You Are What You Eat

Young adults and thought leaders discuss how future generations will eat, what will drive their decisions (e.g., health, ethics), and whether they will seek self-sufficiency by growing their own food.

From farm to plate, the food value chain is an integral part of society, providing income and livelihoods for billions. But the way in which we currently cultivate our food is a signiﬁcant contributor to climate change through deforestation, land degradation, pollution, and food waste. Expo is a platform that brings stakeholders across value chains to spotlight localised solutions to food security, nutrition, and farming challenges. 
This event will explore how to grow food sustainably and will encompass approaches to climate-friendly agricultural practices that maximise productivity while operating in harmony with the environment.
It will also highlight Expo’s efforts and successes in planning Urban Agriculture into the Expo site and District 2020, as well as how International Participants include food and urban agriculture into their pavilion design and operations.
