Early this year, Dubai Knowledge Village in partnership with Sustainable Energy and Environment Division (SEED), phased out the use of halogen lamps within its premises. The initiative was estimated to reduce at least an average of 174 tonnes of CO2 emission per year.
Dubai was the first Arab city to declare its support for Earth Hour, joining 35 countries that had signed up for the campaign. Dubai's participation was led by Dubai Holding and the Dubai Water and Electricity Authority (DEWA).
