The president of an Arab nation, a former US vice-president and five enterprising educational institutions were among the winners at the prestigious Zayed Future Energy Prize, which was announced at a ceremony in the capital yesterday.
The awards were handed out in 10 categories as part of the opening ceremony of the World Future Energy Summit (WFES), which began yesterday and will run until Thursday.
Former United States vice-president and climate change activist Al Gore received the Lifetime Achievement Award for his contributions to the field of sustainability and for efforts that aim to reduce climate change.
Speaking to the audience, Gore said “now is a dangerous and inspirational moment” in the fight against climate change, and that political will is the only component that is still needed to advance it.
