THE FUTURE OF ENERGY 2 0 2 5
A warm welcome to the 17th Edition of the World Future Energy Summit Dear readers, 2024 has been another year highlighting the need for a faster, more ambitious transition to a clean energy future. While every industry and sector is important when it comes to decarbonisation, energy is still the central battleground for humanity’s collective response to climate change, and the gateway to unlocking a truly sustainable climate future for all. Despite unforeseen climate challenges, 2024 still provided plenty of positive, tangible progress ranging from renewables adoption to the widespread integration of smart, sustaina- bility-based systems into crucial sectors such as agriculture, water management and smart cities. There is also hope for faster progress in the latter half of this decade. As you will see for yourself, across the various sections of this lovingly crafted yearbook, adoption rates of sustainability-based technologies are advancing in crucial areas. From the water we collect, consume and recapture, to our urban spaces and agricultural systems, and, of course, the energy we produce worldwide, the technical means to lighten their environmental impact are gaining prominence. The World Future Energy Summit 2025 yearbook is split into five sections: Energy, Water, Solar and Clean Energy, Smart Cities, and Climate Change. The insights and observations of each section informs and supports the others, highlighting the interconnected nature of the sustainability struggle we face, and how progress in one area can quickly spread to others. Providing those considered insights, we are exceptionally fortunate to call upon the expertise of thought leaders from both the public and private spheres. The UAE Department of Energy,
