Dubai has become the world’s first city to receive a climate-resilient drainage certification, marking a significant milestone in its efforts to strengthen urban infrastructure against extreme weather and the growing impacts of climate change.
The certification recognises Dubai’s efforts to develop advanced drainage systems designed to manage intense rainfall more effectively, minimise flood risks and protect residents, businesses and critical infrastructure.
The achievement is part of the city’s broader strategy to promote sustainability, resilience and smarter urban development.
As cities around the world face increasingly unpredictable weather conditions, Dubai is investing in infrastructure capable of responding to future climate-related challenges.
The recognition further highlights the emirate’s ambition to establish new benchmarks for sustainable, resilient and future-ready urban development.
