Expo 2020 – setting the sustainability agenda

Dubai’s Expo 2020 continues to pave the way for progress, including putting sustainability at the top of its legacy list.

Through the development of eco-friendly construction and design guidelines, the project team hope to create templates that will be used for future projects well beyond the 2020 exhibition.

These include protecting natural resources through design and promoting the use of sustainable materials that minimize environmental, social and economic impact.

Visitors will benefit from a conscious design of passages and streets that will be self-shaded by buildings, and more than 45,000m² of green areas to help reduce temperatures.
