Hollywood actor and former governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger has signed a deal that will see his not-for-profit environmental organisation become an official partner of Dubai’s World Green Economy Summit (WGES) in 2015.
Schwarzenegger’s World Climate Region Summit R20 (R20), which was founded in 2010 to support governments to implement environmental projects with low carbon emissions and achieve economic development by addressing climate change, becomes a founding partner of the WGES 2015.
The agreement was signed during the R20 summit in Paris on Monday.
The Dubai summit, to be held April 22-23, aims to encourage a global green economy and promote Dubai as a capital of green economy and sustainable development.
Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) CEO and Dubai Supreme Council of Energy vice chairman Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer said Schwarzenegger had used his global image to support world efforts to reveal the effects of climate change and praised the importance of the R20 summit in supporting the efforts made by both the public and private sectors to set strategies and solutions that promote progress towards a green and clean economy.
