We are poised at a crucial moment in time where we have the opportunity to take decisive collective action in order to protect our planet, and all the life it sustains, for future generations. This significant responsibility will define us in history’s pages as the generation that took the action that was required to protect people and the planet by adapting human activity and consumption to operate sustainably within the earth’s planetary boundaries. Our vision for a more climate-friendly future is defined by circular economies powered by renewable energy, polar regions that are protected against the effects of climate change, and where life on land and in our oceans is free from the threat of extinction.

Q&A Session

World Food Day
2021-10-16 00:00 - 23:59 (Europe/Rome) | Expo 2020 Dubai, Al Wasl Avenue, Dubai, Emirati Arabi Uniti
World Food Day is celebrated every year worldwide to mark the anniversary of the founding of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, commonly known as FAO, and was first established at the 20th FAO General Conference in November 1979.

Since then, the Day is celebrated every year in more than 150 nations to raise awareness on the problems of poverty, hunger, and malnutrition in the world, as well as on food security and the importance of spreading nutrient diets for all. The main objective is to encourage people to act against these problems at global level. Every year a particular theme is promoted which becomes the focus of all the activities.

Since 1981, World Food Day has adopted a different theme every year with the aim of highlighting the areas needing action and establishing a common approach. The 2021 theme is still to be announced although the FAO website suggests that it could be connected to the “need to support our ‘food heroes’ – farmers and workers in the agri-food supply chain – who continue to assure the passage ‘from farm to fork’, including in an unprecedented period of crisis such as that of the Covid-19 pandemic.”

2021-10-17 00:00 - 2021-10-23 23:59 (Europe/Rome) | Expo 2020 Dubai, Al Wasl Avenue, Dubai, Emirati Arabi Uniti
Space travel and exploration has captured imaginations for generations, and on the back of the exponential rate that technological advancement is progressing, the dream of space tourism is closer to being a reality than ever. At the same time, outer space remains one of the few realms within human existence that is truly a shared resource, and peacefully and equitably managing this requires concerted international cooperation of all space-faring nations. During this week we highlight the newest innovations in space research and travel, while also providing a platform to discuss critical issues.

Whether in rural or urban settings, access to safe and affordable living conditions is a fundamental right. With over 70% of the world’s population due to live in cities by 2050, and over a billion already living in informal settlements, it is more important than ever to build resilient and sustainable habitats supported by networks of inclusive infrastructure and services. As the demand on cities and communities escalates, Expo will coalesce experts, citizens, and governments to re-think the way habitats – urban and rural, formal and informal – are designed and managed. From innovative transport, sustainable housing and green public spaces to renewable energy and circular economies, habitats of the future are imagined with sustainability and inclusivity at their core.
