With the support and guidance of its wise leadership, the United Arab Emirates has taken a significant global step in environmental conservation and air quality preservation through the launch of the “Environmental Alliance.”
This ambitious project has brought together the largest firefighting organisations from various continents to reduce carbon emissions from fires.
Building on the positive outcomes of this alliance, which has successfully unified environmental efforts, the UAE Ministry of Interior has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) to enhance cooperation in civil defence and exchange expertise.
Signed under the directives of His Highness Sheikh Saif bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior, and Mr John Butler, President of the IAFC on the sidelines of the Fire-Rescue International (FRI) conference, held in Dallas, USA, this MoU aims to bolster international collaboration and joint efforts to improve fire safety strategies, develop rapid response technologies, and share knowledge, best practices, and training in the field of firefighting and rescue operations.
Moreover, it focuses on advancing fire safety programs, participating in fire-related research, analysing fire data, and conducting appropriate international comparisons.
With the dedication of the nation’s citizens, the UAE is set to become a leading nation in this field, as it continues to make strides in environmental preservation and sustainability, ensuring the protection of the planet’s resources for future generations.
The Ministry of Interior and Civil Defence remains committed to developing a new approach to environmental protection in the future, where technology serves humanity in the environmental domain.
