Dubai Municipality consistently carries out agricultural beautification projects that adhere to

the highest global standards. These efforts integrate innovative design elements and employ

cutting-edge irrigation techniques utilizing recycled water. The goal is to promote the

sustainability of environmental resources.

In 2023, the Municipality accomplished an exceptional milestone in tree planting within the

Emirate, with the successful planting of over 185 thousand trees, fulfilling the complete

objectives of the Green Dubai initiative. This achievement led to the addition of an extra 234

hectares to the green area in Dubai. It further underscores Dubai Municipality’s commitment

to afforestation, demonstrating a dedication to expanding vegetation and improving the per

capita allocation of green spaces.
