One of three main themes of Expo 2020 is sustainability. During
the event, the participants will explore and discuss the
development of sustainable sources of energy and water.
However, sustainability is not just a theme for discussion at
the event. Sustainability will drive how the facilities are built
and how the event is delivered.
Dubai has, for the first time in Expo history, set quantifiable
sustainability targets, along with global benchmarks on resource
management for events on such a scale. The Expo planners intend for
the site to be serviced by zero emission vehicles, a subterranean
supply system, and on-site solar power generation to meet 50% of
its power needs.
In order to meet the power requirements from renewable sources
on-site Expo 2020 will showcase the first large-scale application
of building-integrated photo voltaic and solar technology, setting
a new benchmark for mega-events. Additional sustainability criteria
have been set to monitor carbon
